okay guys, i’m looking for some assistance or a possible update on the LIst , particularly the POSITION number.
Currently I’m trying to figure out how to use the Position # as a new reference number for my own collection., and I’ve wondered if anyone has figured out a way to do that, with the integer limit in place
Or instance: as you guys may or may not know i have matchbox, maisto, and majorette as three of my big collection for DieCasts.
so when I first started with Diecasts (04) + SIX DIGITS FOR Brand (mat,mai, maj)+ 6 for model (porsche, pontiac, i.e.) which automatically puts me at 14 digits for just one category. (and god help me if i find another “D” primary category (dolls?))
So at the moment Diecast = 040900000000000 (Di{ecast}}
diecast matchbox = 0409130120000000 (Di{ecast} + Mat{chbox}
diecast matchbox/porsche = 0409130120151418 (DI{ecast} + Mat(chbox) + Por(sche)
so i’m using location code 0409130120161518 ←- (DI+MAT+POR) Diecast, Matchbox, Porsche, which means I’ve already broken the integer limit and if there’s a special subject, I can’t include it here (and obviously i can’t give it two position #’s).
Is there a way to convert the “Location column” to an decimal or alpha type format to allow it to organize lists even fuller than the library dewey decimal system?
So that 04130120161518 becomes 0409.130120151418
Or does anyone have that kind of organization system setup for their personal collection, or am i just dreaming an impossible dream at the moment (heck i know that there’s over 100 different primary categories, so this may be near impossible)
