I have a table that has three fields: Paragraph, Title, Content.

The Paragraph field is a text field, but is the outline number for the
particular paragraph in a document.  For example, 7.1.1, 7.1.2, etc.

I need to output these paragraphs in outline order as they appear in the
printed material.  Of course, if the paragraphs go past 9, it gets all
muffed up because its a text field and not a number field.  Example: 7.1,
7.10, 7.11, 7.2, 7.3...

Is there any easy way to accomplish this?
