Yeah, I see what you are talking about. I think that I need to look at
redoing this table for sure. This was my first stab at a CMS and I am
discovering some issues with it. This band-aid solution will work for the
interim though.

Thanks,

Bruce

You can't really.

Your DB is badly designed if you have one field called hierarchy that
contains multiple elements. Its not normalised.

Normally the hierarchy would be in a different table.

But if you want to persist with this and you can change the hierarchy field
you would need to store it like.

001
001~007
001~008
001~009
001~010
001~012
001~012~013
001~012~014

Then when sorting this string, it will come out as you expect.

I'm assuming you wouldn't have more than 999 items, but if you do, then you
need to pad with more 0's.
