    Grouping in a report

    I have a report, 11 parents with names & addresses & each has a pickup order assigned to it but the report won't put #10 & 11 in order. It goes 1, 10, 11, 2,3 etc. Any help?

    Your numbers are being seen as text rather than numbers. It could be the data type of the field or some function being applied along the way.

    No problem. Text = alphabetic sorting.
