Hi All -
 
I have a report that I want to use a natural sort on, that is,
 
NY11
...
NY108
NY109
NY110
 
instead of
 
NY108
NY109
NY11
NY110
 
Is there a way to accomplish this in CR?  I've considered writing some custom sorting formula to handle it but that could get ugly, and I'm hoping for an easier solution...

Create formula such as:
Picture({your_field}, "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx__________")

Sort on that formula.

view, e-mail, export, burst, distribute, and schedule Crystal Reports.
