I use a report to print out checklists that in the detail section have item
number to delineate each checklist item. The item numbers as an example are
1-1, 1-2, 1-2a, 1-2b, or 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 2-3a, 2-3b and so on. The report is
grouped by checklist section and the grouping works perfectly but when the
report is printed the item numbers are ordered in this order 1-1, 1-10, 1-11,
1-2, 1-3, 1-3a, 1-3b, 1-4, 1-5, 1-6, 1-7, 1-9.
Obviously I want the the order to be in proper numerical sequence where 1-10
comes after 1-9. but even replacing the '-' with a decimal point doesn't
work. I can't change the field type to a number because of the use of
letters.
Is there a relatively easy way to get the order I need from the report.
Thanks
