in reply to Re^2: Sorting array
in thread Sorting array
I thought about that; however, all current genome annotation (that I've seen) has 0-padded #s such that if there are > 9 chromosomes, the first 9 would be ch01, ch02, etc. In the 'real world', it is much more likely to have zero-padding than to have chromosomes names 'ch'. But I agree, better safe than sorry.
