LaTeX forum ⇒ General ⇒ sort the numbers with latex Topic is solved

[pasbal]

First, forgive my faults in English. The text is translated by Google. Secondly, I am new on latex and i have no knowledge on programmation.
I use a free software to test my pupils. (here the link http://home.gna.org/auto-qcm/).

The author modified some instructions and created some news:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex) Open in Overleaf

\newcount\AMCid@etud\AMCid@etud=0

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex) Open in Overleaf

\def\AMClabel#1{\expandafter\label{\the\AMCid@etud-#1}}

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex) Open in Overleaf

\def\AMCref#1{\expandafter\ref{\the\AMCid@etud-#1}}

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex) Open in Overleaf

\def\AMCpageref#1{\expandafter\pageref{\the\AMCid@etud-#1}}

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex) Open in Overleaf

\newcommand{\AMCqlabel}[1]{%
\protected@write\@auxout{}{\string\newlabel{\the\AMCid@etud-#1}{{\arabic{AMCquestionaff}}{\thepage}}}%

The software may create many exams sheets in random order.

When i want to label a question, i type

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex) Open in Overleaf

\AMCqlabel{questa}, \AMCqlabel{questb}

and so on.
If i refer to many questions, i have to type

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex) Open in Overleaf

\AMCref{questa},\AMCref{questb} or \AMCpageref{questa}

But, the question's number and page are not sorted in ascending order. The questions are shuffled.
I asked the author a solution and he advised me to load the package cleveref but it does not work.

So, do you have an idea to sort the numbers with latex.

Thanks et regards.

Hello,

My first topic (http://latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=24918) seems difficult to resolve (Is there a code, macro in latex language to sort the number ?).
So, I change my way of thinking and i will try something different.

I noticed the labels was writen in a file (*.aux). Is it possible to open this file and search some words or character then copy and paste them in the file *.tex (as the package xstring do it) ?

Thanks for help.

One reason i didn't answer your previous post was a lack of time on the one hand and utter confusion on the other. Preparing a minimal working example helps us to understand the problem.

All files written and read are simple text files. You can open them with any texteditor (notepad, gedit, mousepad).

Hello,

Find an example.

Thanks for help.

i can't attach more one file, i will attach the AMC package file and the manual in other posts.

[pasbal]

the manual file is too big. You can download here :

Package cleveref can do that in general:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex) Open in Overleaf

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{cleveref}
 
\begin{document}
\section{}
\label{A}
\section{}
\label{B}
\section{}
\label{C}
\cref{B,C,A}
\end{document}
 

With your package, a lot of commands are introduced because different shuffled worksheets are output. One would need to redefine the internals of the package and i think the maintainer should do so.

Hello,

I tried with the Package cleveref but as the sheets are shuffled some errors appeared.
I already asked to the maintener but he answered the same idea as yours.

Thank a lot for help.

The software's maintener modified the code and the problem is fixed.
