Hi, I am new to the list :) Have a question, I have not been able to find any information on this on the MySQL site. Is it possible to sort a varchar field that contains numbers as an integer field? ie. right now it is sorting 1,2,4,10,11,12 as: 1 10 11 2 4 I would like to see it properly sorted. The reason the field is varchar is because we may *sometimes* have string characters in the field. Thanks for your help, Maksim --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
