The sorter transformer does not seem to be sorting correctly in 2019.1?

H

I've recently installed the 2019.1 beta

Edition: FME Desktop ESRI Edition (floating)

 

Version: FME(R) 2019.1.0.0 (20190618 - Build 19594 - WIN64)

 

The sorter transformer does not seem to be sorting correctly.

I am trying to sort a large list of alphanumeric location codes like CAON0696, CABC0002, USFL0788, etc.

I am sorting alphabetically, ascending. I have tried grouping by other attributes like country and province codes but it is not putting them in the correct order.

Sorting obviously worked fine in 2018. Is this a known issue?

I just tried this in build 19260 and that appears to work ok, so sorting CABC before CAON, hopefully somebody from Safe can confirm this is indeed going wrong in your build (@natalieatsafe)

@hear_it_here @natalieatsafe @redgeographics The Sorter works for me with build 19597.

I have the same sorting issue with 2019.2.3.1, I think it's because I was trying to sort 21 millions records. FME was still pushing data through even though my pc doesn't have enough memory to continue with the sorting process. Once I reduce to 3 millions records, it's was sorting fine. Any idea on way(s) to address this issue is appreciated.
