 * Dear Developer,
 * I’m having problems with percentage ranking after the update. When I sort the
   lines by clicking the column header. 100% behaves as if it is the text sequence
   when it should be at the top or bottom.
 * To explain with an example:
 * **Must be**
 * 100%
    80% 40% 10%
 * **But what happened**
 * 80%
    40% 100% 10%
 * How can I solve this problem? A related page for you to see: [anime release dates](https://whenwill.net/anime-release-dates/)
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpercent-ranking-problem-while-sorting%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The reason why this is not working are the emoji images in this column. The cause
   the sorting to be done alphabetically and not numerically.
    If you don’t want
   to move the emoji to a different column, you could use the approach from [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/date-order-6/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/date-order-6/)
   where a similar sorting problem (with dates and not emojis) is discussed.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
