[RESOLVED] Natural sort order in SQL Access query.

How can i sort a column (APART=CHAR field) in an access table in natural sort order with this value:

1
10
12
PART
14
2
3+4
5
6
8
9-10

I want sort in this order:
1
2
3+4
5
6
8
9-10
12
14
PART

I use "SELECT * FROM db ORDER BY APART+0" ... But not work...
Please help.
Thank you

There isn't an easy way to do it, but you can get closer to what you want by using this:

Code:

---

"SELECT * FROM db ORDER BY Val(APART), APART"

---

That will list the text-only ones first... the following might switch them to the end:

Code:

---

"SELECT * FROM db ORDER BY Val(APART)>0, Val(APART), APART"

---

Thank you!!!
