AirBnB Please please please fix your calendar sorting

[Dennis29]

I manage 12 listings and I put in numbers before each one to make it easier for me to adjust prices horizontally.

My listings showed like this on the multi-day calendar:

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

etc.

Now I recently grew up to 12 and this is how they show up:

1.

10.

11.

12.

3.

4.

I have asked the gave my feedback numerous times to please fix your sorting.

Alternatively please give us(The hosts) the ability to make custom sort, it would be soooo much easier to be able to do this. I am a coder myself and this is something that can be done in about 5 minutes tops, you can even use my code:

Collections.sort(strings, new Comparator<String>() {
    public int compare(String o1, String o2) {
        return extractInt(o1) - extractInt(o2);
    }

    int extractInt(String s) {
        String num = s.replaceAll("\\D", "");
        // return 0 if no digits found
        return num.isEmpty() ? 0 : Integer.parseInt(num);
    }
});

So please please please for the sake of making your hosts happy(your money makers), please fix the calendar for us.

@Dennis29 Maybe (re)name all your listings starting with 2 positions: 01,02,03  etc ?

@Dennis29

No idea if this will work on airbnb but

Starting with a zero works on some programs

01

02

03

04 and on and on

edit: great minds think alike @Emiel1

[Dennis29]

excellent tips guys but why should we find hacks for something that can be done in under a day that can make our lives so much easier? 

I for one would rather not have numbers but just meaningful names and just be able to sort the listings in the best way that I feel I would be able to use.

I have worked at Marriott and Hilton and they both have those features, why couldnt AirBnB have something like that?

@Dennis29 

Don't know if you use it (I don't) but it might be a feature on the airbnb hotel booking software
