 * Is there a way to sort a list where the names in the list are numbers? I have
   about 1200 entires and I want to sort them 1,2,3,4,5,6, etc.
 * But the plugin is listing them 1, 10, 100, 1000, etc.
 * Is there a pro version of the plugin that would fix this?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsort-numerically-correctly%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@stevenmayjr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stevenmayjr/)
 * Thats a fair question. What you are referring is mostly called “natural sorting”.
 * It isn’t included in the plugin at the moment and due to hospitalization I can’t
   currently work on it.
 * Another way to achieve it would be to use leading zeroes (0001 and 0019), but
   it might not be that pretty.
 * At the moment there is no pro version of the plugin. I hope you use it with my
   tip.
 * I think it will be a nice addition, but as I said, i can’t currently work on 
   it.
 * Kind regards,
 * Jeroen

 * I’m sorry I would love to keep using the plugin or contribute towards a pro version
   but I don’t think adding 000 will help as that will just push the system back
   to counting it further down.

 * hey [@stevenmayjr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stevenmayjr/),
 * sorry, as I told you I was hospitalized. Now I am available again. I think I 
   can create a custom plugin for you which you can use as I don’t have a Pro-version
   just yet.
    Kind regards,
