ASP Datagrid - numbers being sorted like text

[InvisibleDuncan]

I have an ASP datagrid which was some columns that contain numbers. However, when I sort, it's sorting them alphabetically. For example:

0
1
10
2
23
30

How can I get it to sort them as numbers?

The column is defined like this:

<asp:BoundColumn DataField="RenewalCountdown" SortExpression="RenewalCountdown" HeaderText="Renewal Countdown">
    <HeaderStyle Font-Bold="True" HorizontalAlign="Left" Width="10%" CssClass="table_header_background"></HeaderStyle>
    <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" VerticalAlign="Top"></ItemStyle>
</asp:BoundColumn>

Thanks in advance...
