In Frame5.5 I usually have no problem sorting my tables in ascending order, sorting on the "Number" column. But, sometimes, lets say that I have a table that is numbered 1-30. Every once in a while when I sort a table it will sort like: 1,10, 11,12,...2,20,21,22,23...,3,30,31,32... 

Then I select all body rows and again sort - sometimes the way it should and sometimes it will be: 1,19,2,3,4,5... This last example is one that I have encountered exactly. No matter what I did, I could not get 19 to be between 18 and 20 without cutting it and then pasting it into its proper place. 

Is there another function to sorting that I am not aware of? This is of particular interest for me as I have 2 tables with literally thousands of entries in each and they are not sorting properly - all of the information in these tables was copied from other sections of a manual and placed directly into this last section (the same way that the rest of the sections were done). Most of the time my tables have sorted properly. 

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you.
