Tiltan Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Im trying to order a list of numbers. But its not properly ordering, the list ends upp like this: 1 10 100 1000 11 12 2 I want the list to go in order 1 2 10 11 12 100 1000 Code.. Well in short: "SELECT * FROM _TABLE_ WHERE something='something' ORDER BY id" (ASC or DESC dosent matter) If you want the full code i can give it. I just cant see how it would change the "order by" since it dosent change the numbers anywere.

gffg4574fghsDSGDGKJYM Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 It's probably a wrong datatype. Use integer instead of string/varchar.
