I'm guessing it's so they'll sort in human readable format... ie:
brick 1 x 1
brick 1 x 2
brick 2 x 10
brick 2 x 12
would be instead (in computer numeralical order (as i like to call it
when i complain to dan))
brick 1 x 1
brick 1 x 10
brick 1 x 12
brick 1 x 2
That's my guess. :)

| Yup, that'd be why. ;-) Actually, those one-digit numbers are in reality *two*-digit numbers, prefaced with a zero, but since the zero in question is invisible, you don't see it. ;-) Franklin (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
