Hi,
I have a query result, and one of those fields are some ID numbers.
It came as ="number" format when I exported to excel.
When I tried sorting this field in ascending order, however, it didnt' sort
right.
For example, the order before sort is:

100422
100422
100459
100459
1184
1187
1189
1190
1192
1193

But apparently, I want the sorting to result like below:

1184
1187
1189
1190
1192
1193
100422
100422
100459
100459

But it didn't happen with sort. I then copied the whole column and past
specile values to get rid of ="number" format, and then resorted, and
it's still the same.

When I double clicked each cell and pressed "enter," then the sorting
happense correctly. But I can't go through thousands of rows like this.

Does any one know what's up with this?
