Sorting numbers with different place holders
Jeremy
I have a correspondent that frequently emails me with a list of numbers she needs to sort. The numbers range from 39 to 400.

When she is sorting, the sort places 39 right before 390, 391, 392, etc. How do I format the numbers/column so that I do not have to physically add a leading zero each time? Thanks!
