Default Numeric sort order problem (7.2 perceived as 7.19)

I frequently have to sort tables on columns that are populated with paragraph
numbers taken from large documents. How do I sort so the order is correct,
e.g., 7.2 comes before 7.19. I know this issue exists in other Office
applications. How can this be corrected without "padding the numbers with 0's
(7.02 instead of 7.2)?
