Default How do I sort so that 1.2 comes before 1.10?

I'm trying to sort numbers from an outline, so I want to sort it as 1.1, 1.2,
1.3...1.10, 1.11, and so on. Excel sorts them as 1.1, 1.10, 1.11...1.2, 1.3.
I have tried changing the format to several different types, including
Number, Text, Decimal, and cannot get Excel to sort it in the correct order
for an outline.
