I have a 2 position text field that I am sorting by.  The codes go from AA,
AB...A1, A2... BB, B1  etc.  We are sending this to a sql server.  When they
sort it,  the order is  A1, AA,  ...B1, BB   The numerics are taking
precedence.  They say it is sorting ascii.  I thought ascii sort was
alpha/numeric also???
