[Bioperl-l] Can't parse blast report written by Bio::SearchIO::Writer::TextResultWriter

[Prachi Shah]

Thanks Jason for adding the sort_hsps method in
Bio::Search::Hit::GenericHit. I tested it out and it works great.

The other issue I have is the format of HSP start and stop coordinates
when I write a new blast report (with HSPs sorted) using
Bio::SearchIO::Writer::TextResultWriter. Below is an example of the
same HSP alignment as output from BLAST and later when the blast
report is generated by TextResultWriter. Notice, the change in start
and stop coordinates. I would like to keep the start and stop format
as in the first case. How do I specify that? Any indicators are
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Prachi
