RE: [PHP-DB] sorting From: Wesley Choate (wesleyc <email protected>)
Date: 01/02/01

I am assuming you are using a database of sometype to do this. If you are
getting your results sorted like you are saying here, then this field is set
up as an alpha field. To get the numbers to sort in numeric order the
numbers must be in an integer or float or some other numeric type field.

Hope that helps,
Wesley Choate
