New database - anyone understand Yahoo?

I was trying to put the list of post allocations into a Yahoo 
database (see databases in menu on left), so that anyone could check 
where we were.

I thought maybe we could use this for people to enter their own 
groups of posts, as and when they needed them, rather than having to 
email me. Usually I can respond quickly, but not so useful if I am 
away.

However, I have run into a problem. I can't get the database to rank 
the numbers numerically - so stupid.

Basically it does this

1-xxx
1000- xxx
10000-xxx

2-xx
2000 - xxx
20000 - xx

This is incredibly un-useful. Can anyone figure a way of tricking it 
to rank in a normal numerical sequence?

Carolyn, fuming.
