How to sort the text and numeric values in the ascending order in straight table in qlikview

Hi,

I need to sort one dimension in Straight table which contains both numeric values and text values in a way like numeric values should be starting in the st table followed by text values in the ascending order.

I have used the options in the sort both Text (ascending) and numeric values(ascending) but it is not working.

when i am trying to sort only the text in ascending order i am getting the numeric values first and then it is sorting by ascending order text values also but after X i am getting again the values which i have highlighted in yellow in the attched document.

Can anyone please help me here.

You could use the dual function in this case and configure the dimensions to be sorted the way you need

maybe like this:

tmp:
Load *, left([Business Process],1) as Sort;
LOAD [Business Process] , 
     [Total Cases], 
     Blocked, 
     F4, 
     F5, 
     F6, 
     F7, 
     F8, 
     F9, 
     F10, 
     F11, 
     F12, 
     F13, 
     F14
FROM
[sorting.xlsx]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);

left join Load Sort, [Business Process] Resident tmp Order by Sort asc; //DROP Table tmp;
