    Hi, this is a relly great db app always implementing new things, but i found a “problem” when sorting db using a number field. Tap forms sort in this way: 1,10,100,1000…2,20 and not in this expected form 1,2,3,4,5,6…etc… It´s an app problem or a field problem?.

    thanks…

    Ok, I’ve found the problem, it´s not a number field, it´s a text field with numbers. When try to change the Field to Number in Edit Form, lost all data…What can I do?

    Hey Marcelo,

    If you switch back to text, your data will come back.

    You should export your form’s records and then switch the field type, then re-import your data.

    Thanks,

    Brendan
