Hi Team,

I want to know how to apply sorting for my varchar column.
my database column datatype is varchar the records looks like (01,02,03,04,10,11,50,100,101...) instead of (01,02,03,04,10,11,100,101,50,...).
if i set datatable column as number means the values changed like (1,2,,3 not 01,02,03).
i cant able to change the database column type so i need to sort this varchar column with format of ("00").
help me guys
