Hi,
I have a variable field of type varchar2 called storeId. I need to sort the store Id's but they are of variable length and some of them contain characters and digits while others contain only digits. I tried using order by lpad(storeId, 10) asc but it does not work in the case that 1 id is a11 and another one is b2. It gives me b2 and then a11.
Is there a way to fix this?
