How to sort a column of datagrid by integer rather than character Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I had a grid "myGrid" and populated it programmatically through

Set colSchoolID = myGrid.Columns.Add(0)
colSchoolID.FieldName = "SchoolID"
colSchoolID.Caption = "SchoolID"

Set colLogins = myGrid.Columns.Add(0)
colLogins.FieldName = "Logins"
colLogins.Caption = "Logins"
colLogins.FormatType = 2 'Set the FormatType of the column as integer

I created a recortset "myRS" by "SELECT SchoolID, SUM(Login) AS Logins FROM myTable GROUP BY SchoolID"

and then:

Set myGrid.Recordset = myRS
myGrid.Refresh

The grid dispalyed well. But cilcking the header of the coulmn "Logins", I got

SchoolID Logins
1 0
2 123
3 5

It looked like the grid was sorted by character instead of integer. The correct result that I need is:
SchoolID Logins
1 0
3 5
2 123

What did I miss?

Thanks in advance.

In your SQL statement (script it and at runtime place it in the grid's .SQL.TEXT property) Cast your string field as int in your SELECT field clause...

SELECT A1.ACCOUNTID,
CAST(A2.STRINGFIELD as INT) A2_STRINGFIELD...
