You can add another column which contains a value to order by, and then order by that instead. Or remove the leading "Q", change the data type of the column to numeric, and only apply the "Q" when you display the data.

I agree！
In fact you can only save numbers then you can do sorting，and then when showing all of the data contents，Just use the formation and do binding like this in the ItemTemplate：

ORDER BY CLng(Right([Field1], Len([Field1]) - 1))
But this is the better option
