This probably has to do with the data type of the field that you're working
with.  For instance, if price is a text field because you're storing $123.43
instead of a numeric field and just storing 123.43 it would sort
alphabetically instead of numerically.  You could probably convert the field
value to a numeric value in your first query using CAST or INT and that
would return it as numeric.  Then your sort should work.  It's been a while
since I've done that, but I think it would work.

I'm building a query dynamically, and then trying to sort it on a numeric
column, but it only wants to sort alphabetically.  Anyone experience this,
or know what I need to do to sort numerically?

<cfquery name="qResults" dbtype="query">
select * from qResults order by hasPhoto DESC, price DESC
</cfquery>
