Good point. I've only dealt with one part, so far, that this became
an issue with: the (Minifig) Witch's Cauldron. But that one
measured at "1/2" (inn between the plates for "1/3" and "2/3"),
so I just used decimals (i.e., ".5"). If it had been at either
plate's height, I would have used decimals (approximation)
for that case as well, i.e., ".333" or ".667", just to avoid
the problem you mentioned above.

Thanks.

Oops. I wasn't suggesting that *you* do this. I'd be happy to do this
over the next few days, if you'd like. (I seem to have the time right
now, if you know what I mean. :-/ [Referring to my comments on
another thread])

OK.

Uhmmm, with regards to this one, how about we start typing in
the previously-invisible zeroes? I admit this would look a little silly,
but it would immediately solve the problem of (numbers)spacing-vs.-sorting.
Just an idea.
Thanks,
