This is a bug. Many attributes get loaded in BlackboardArtifactNode (artifact "model" class for tabular results views) by the following line of code (Line 985c of BlackboardArtifactNode.java) which converts the attribute value to a string:
map.put(attribute.getAttributeType().getDisplayName(), attribute.getDisplayString());
I will add this issue to our internal bug tracking system here at Basis Technology. Hopefully, we will be able to address it for the Autopsy 4.18.0 release scheduled for January.
@L-Andrade, the bug will definitely be fixed in the Autopsy 4.18.0 release scheduled for January (https://github.com/sleuthkit/autopsy/pull/6490).
Hello,
When an artifact is added to the blackboard and it has an attribute of type Integer (
BlackboardAttribute.TSK_BLACKBOARD_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_TYPE.INTEGER
), tapping the column to sort it still sorts the column as if the attribute was a string (e.g.10 -> 10000 -> 30
instead of10 -> 30 -> 10000
).Is it necessary to do something else other than use the proper attribute type, or is it a bug?
Edit: I tested in Autopsy 4.15.0 and 4.17.0, and the result was the same.

Thanks in advance.
