object explorer - sorting keys in dictionaries

Hi. I have objects that I want to explore with Dates as keys. ObjectExplorer seems to want to sort these by the string representation of the dates instead of the natural sorting of the dates

Could someone point me to where the building of this list is going on? Once I have a pointer, I can try various other options to find something I like.

Thanks,

cbc

Hi Chris

I think you might want to have a look at the implementors of

explorerContents

Dictionary has

explorerContents

^self keysSortedSafely replace: [ :key |
ObjectExplorerWrapper
with: (self at: key)
name: (key printString contractTo: 32)
model: self ]

Regards
Hannes
