A client of mine sells motorcycle parts and the motorcycle models are for instance:
YZ85 YZ125 WRF450 YZF450 Etc... If you know motorcycles, you know that the number is always the displacement in cc. What I am looking to do here is make it so that the models are sorted properly according to their displacement and not their alphanumerical order. Currently they are sorted like this: WRF450 YZ125 YZF450 YZ85 I would like them sorted like this: YZ85 YZ125 WRF450 YZF450 The displacement is not always at the end, sometimes it's at the beginning, for instance: 125SX 250EXC (Yes, those are Yamahas and KTMs, for those who are into that type of vehicles). How can I achieve this goal without creating a specific field in the database? I tried converting the field to integer, which is something that I can do with MS SQL (converting a varchar field to integer "extracts" the integer part, if any) but the CAST and CONVERT are not the same functions and I have looked for 30 minutes for something that could work with no success.
