Hi All,
I have a "user_number" column which contains the following values A1,
A2, A3.....A10, A11....

When i use order by on this column, the result is as follows:
A1, A10, A11,... A2,....., A3.....

but i the desired result is:
A1, A2, A3,.... A10, A11...

What should I do to achieve this result?

Regards,
Shilpa Gujral
