order by problem

Hello All, I´m having a 'problem' that I dont know how to resolve. The problem is: I have a table that I want to get the last number to increment. To do this I want to sort the filed 'ctrlnumber'. Using this query´s I get: mysql> SELECT ctrlnumber FROM table WHERE id=14; +------------+ | ctrlnumber | +------------+ | 7 | | 1 | | 2 | | 3 | | 4 | | 5 | | 6 | | 8 | | 9 | | 10 | | 11 | +------------+ 11 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql> SELECT ctrlnumber FROM table WHERE id=14 order by ctrlnumber; +------------+ | ctrlnumber | +------------+ | 1 | | 10 | | 11 | | 2 | | 3 | | 4 | | 5 | | 6 | | 7 | | 8 | | 9 | +------------+ 11 rows in set (0.01 sec) When I try to sort, it doesn´t return to me in the order that I need (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11). Is there a way to do this or I´ll have to include 01 02 03 04 05.... to all my recoreds ? Thank´s in advance, Gus
