Default Number Question

Hi. I'm using Excel 2007. I have a row with a cell that contains a number,
say 4444. I want to select this number and drag down so the following cells
below this row and cell with a number with appear as 4444.1, the next row and
cell below this as 4444.2, ... 4444.10, 4444.11, and so on, by dragging down
the mouse. Can this be done? And how should I format the column? As a
number, as general, as ...? I tried holding down the Ctrl key, or the Alt
key, but the result was: 4444.1, 4445.1, etc.

If I format the column as a number, when I resort, the problem appears after
4444.10, because the resulting sort will be 4444.1, 4444.10, 4444.11, etc. In
other words, I have to have the decimal point after the number, and I have to
sort in the proper order, that is, 1 to 10 or 1 to 20, etc. If this can be
done, and if you understood my fuzzy description, please explain in simple
English and step by step. Thank you very much.
