Here's my query:

[code]SELECT * FROM table WHERE column LIKE \"%$trimmed%\" AND approved='yes'
  ORDER BY number ASC[/code]

"number", is a column that stores a certain number (VARCHAR 10, other then ID) that's unique. These numbers range from 1 to 999. The problem is, that the results are sorted based on the first digit, not the entire number.

Say I have these numbers: 1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 25, 88, 106 and 305.

The results get sorted like this:
[code]
1

106

2

25

305

4

8

88

9[/code]

But I want to store them in the correct order (1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 25, 88, 106 and 305).

How do I solve this?
