How do I use a REGEX expression in the Order By clause? I have a column which contains data that looks like this, A002C A001 A1000C B100AA CAR A023 I use a query like this that sorts everything but the occasional last aphla character Select field From table Order BY Left(1,field ). Right(field , LEN(field )-1); I would like to add , field REGEXP "[[:alpha:]]$" , to the end of my Order By clause to handle this problem but its not working. Any thoughts? Thanks
