    Your Field is defined as a Text Datatype, therefore it is already sorted in Ascending Order!

    If you want it to sort like numbers would, you need to change the Datatype to Number!

    Sorry I forgot to mention that it is a combine field. I am writing like GR 10, GR 20, GR 30...................... GR 100 but when I sort it Ascending it show GR 100 after GR 10. Regards,

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
