I need it to sort as a number. but it's doing a text sort.



I thought there was a SortAsNumber property for the Column object but I guess I was wrong.

Any ideas?

Hi,
I think you have to set Item.Value as Single and set Format property to "$%s" to automatically add "$" - it will increase perfomance of sorting and will sort in right order.

Quick Question how would you sort on a date field where it's grouped? We have a date field that is being already formated to capture the time and then split out the date.

 Set RecordItem = .AddItem(CDate(CheckForNull(rs.Fields("d_datemade"))))
            RecordItem.Format = "%I:%M %p"
            RecordItem.GroupCaption = Format$(CheckForNull(rs.Fields("d_datemade")), "mm/dd/yyyy")

The issue is that when we group by the date, we want it to be sorted in order based upon the most recent time. Due to that it's interpreting the group line as text, 1/1/06 would come before 1/1/07 when in all actuality 1/1/07 should be coming first. We didn't notice this due to if it's the same year the month and day would make it seem to appear to being sorted correctly.

If you set cell values not as a text, but as OLE Variant values (native COM date/time) -- it will be both sorted and grouped correctly.
