Default Sorting numbers as Text

I frequently work with a lists of text data, some of which consists of digits
or digits + alpha characters. These are always formatted as tect fields.
When I sort them i get a dialog box asking if I would rather sort digits as
numbers or as text. Sorting as text provides the result I need, so I always
select that and it works fine
My question is, how can I skip having to answer this question over and over
and over? Is there a configuration option thats says 'leave me alone - I know
what I am doing' ?

Thanks for any help.
