Hi,
I was wondering how to sort numbers that I think are formated as text and
the reason for being sorted the way they are in the example below.
I have a column that sorts in the following format:
A1
A10
A11
A12
A13
A14
A15
A16
A17
A18
A19
A2
A21
A22
A23
B1
B10
B11
B12
B13
B14
B15
B16
B17
B18
B19
B2
B20
B21
I'd like to make it so numbers are sorted like this:
A1
A2
A3
A4
A5
A6
A7
A8
A9
A10
A11
A12
A13
A14
A15
A16
A17
A18
A19
A20
A21
A22
A23
B1
B2
B3
B4
B5
etc
So number 2 would go after 1 instead of after 19.
A GIS program I use sorts numbers this way and I'd like to sort them properly to
better work with the data.
Thanks!
