Thanks guys. An easier solution was simply to change the column definition from INTEGER to VARCHAR, since I didn't actually need the column to be numeric. Sorting works OK now. ___ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users

It sounds like you want the account numbers to be sorted as text rather than numerically, so cast the values to text in the order by clause. ... order by cast(account_number as text) ...

[sqlite] [Index] Listing 6001 after 601 and not after 801?
Hello This is for an accounting program: As an exemple, all accounts starting with 6 must be listed together, which means that eg. 6001 must come after 601, and not after, say, 801. Is there a trick in SQL that lets me do this? ORDER BY ASC won't do this. Thank you. ___ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
