 * Hi!
 * I want to sort my posts by a custom field that contains only a number, like “
   354”.
 * Tried the sort_by_title plugin but couldn’t get i to sort properly by only the
   numbers. The output would be something like:
 * 899
    560 124 230 324
 * and so on. I wan’t them to sort by the lowest number first. If i sort by letters
   i works fine, but not with numbers. Any pointers on how to make it happend?
 * Thanks!
