    Sorting problem

    How do I sort a text field such as:
    1.0
    2.2
    13.9

    Instead of:
    1.0
    13.9
    2.2



    Thanks

    You would probably need to add a calculated field that converts your entry to number, and then sort on this calculated field.
    That calculated would look something like:
    CDbl([MyField])
