Hi, == I have an ID field in my database...it reads like this
ASS1 ASS23 ASS4 ASS10 ASS6 when i'm retrieving the data by taking ORDER BY clause it is sorting like this ASS1 ASS10 ASS23 ASS4 ASS6 means its only sorting by the 4 the character. i want the sorting to be done like the following == No, it means it's sorting by alphabet, not by the 4th character. ASS10 comes after ASS1, makes perfect sense. == ASS1 ASS4 ASS6 ASS10 ASS23 Solutions are greatly appreciated == What you want, is that the sorting acts like to ignore "ASS" and use the number behind it as an integer. Perhaps you can cut off the first 3 characters, cast the rest to an Integer and order by that?
