    That's also why love CS teachers that assign homework with 01, 02, etc and despise those who dont.

    Excel has “sort anything that looks like a number as a number” option for this reason.

    @bkwilliams yea but if I recall, and unless it's gotten better, it can't tell a number in the middle of a word.

    1a
    2a
    10a

    works fine. but:

    ab1
    ab10
    ab2

    the numbers arent at the start, therefore it's a string. maybe Excel has fixed this (please correct me if they have) but a lot of other software shows this inconsistency.
