CONCAT function sort issue

Hello QV developers,

I have column of text like this:

Col1
Text10
Text17
Text3
Text4
Text5
Text6
Text7
Text8
Text1
Text2
Text11
Text12
Text13
Text14
Text15
Text16
Text45
Text24
Text21
Text76
Text18

I am trying to use CONCAT function in the script like this so that I can get all text values in one cell.

LOAD

CONCAT(Col1, ';') As ConcatCol

RESIDENT

Test1

The result looks like this:

ConcatCol
Text1;Text10;Text11;Text12;Text13;Text14;Text15;Text16;Text17;Text17;Text18;Text2;Text21;Text24;Text3;Text4;Text45;Text5;Text6;Text7;Text76;Text8

This is not what I desire. The Text gets already sorted before the concatenation. I want the result in the same order as the rows appear in the first table like

This is what I desire

Text10;Text17;Text3;Text4 ...

How can I achieve this? Thanks for your help.

Problem Solved. I just realized we can have sort option as the third parameter inside the CONCAT function. So I am able to use the row number as the sort order. This works now. Thanks.
