Just a small thing that's annoying me in the Data Inspector. My numeric fields are always sorted alphabetical by default when I click on the attribute name to sort (1, 10, 100, ...). Is it possible to detect if a field is completely numeric and sort it as such?

Hmm, I think this happens because much of the time FME does not know what the data type of a column is ahead of time. But that said, it feels like we could at least make an educated guess i.e. scan the first 1000 values and if they are all numeric go for a numeric sort. I'll see what the team thinks..
I am having the same problem described above in version 2018 and the latest beta of 2019 within the Data Inspector. It is kind of a pain when trying to determine the maximum string length for an attribute of a feature, especially when you have over a 1000 records! You have to scroll through each group of data, those starting with 1..., starting with 2..., starting with 3... find the maximum string length. A bit cumbersome. I cringe when I get to my exchange areas that have close to 10,000 records!
