> [@enipla](#): > > Sorting can be a real pain with SQL as well. We manage addresses. Unit numbers are all over the place. 5A, 10R, G14, 205.5, AB. Since it’s alpha numeric, it must go in a string field, which doesn’t short worth shit (10 comes before 2) The best I have come up with is to split it into its individual number and alpha components, sort by number and then alpha and present it that way. Still doesn’t always work. I used significant figures. If there are four digits, 1 becomes 0001. I’ve never had to index with numbers and letters. ---
