Greetings!  I am currently working on an iOS app and not too well versed in
SQLite.  Here's what I am trying to do.

I have a table "stations" and the fields "state" populated by US States and
"power" which is populated with strings similar to 1.0 kW, 50.0 kW 10.0 kW
etc...

so the query I need... I need something along the lines of "SELECT * FROM
stations WHERE state like '%x%' ORDER BY ..." Here lies the issue.  I need
to trim kW from the number and turn it into an integer/double/float what
have you so that I can order it by power lowest to highest or vice versa... 

So.... essentially I searching for a antennas in a specific state like "CA"
Where x is my placeholder and I'd like to sort them by their power.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
