Thanks, Vern, but no, I mean the field contains values like
"1234 "
"1 "
" "
"29 "
"1 "
and so forth.
If I do something like "SELECT DISTINCT FOO FROM BAR ORDER BY FOO," I get
" "
"1 "
"1234 "
"29 "
because FOO is a character string field, when what I want is
"1 "
"29 "
"1234 "
(and I don't care whether the blank shows up first, last, or not at all.)
