Ok, I think this is a MySQl question. Take pity on me?

$sql = "SELECT * FROM $db.`mailinglist` WHERE `type` IN ('Member', 'Affiliated', 'Life Member') ORDER BY `rollnumber` ASC";

rollnumber is a varchar(50). I need it to be a text field. ASC does not order the way I want.

1000
1001
998
999

I want it to order like this:

998
999
1000
1001

How do I trick it? I cannot think of a way in MySQL. Is there a way in PHP?

CAST it to an integer in the ORDER BY clause.

Cheers,
Rob.
