In a MS Word 2003, SP3, 6X1 table I place the following values one per row
4E
2E
3E
E
1E
5E

When I go to Table Sort "number" "ascending" the table will not sort.
If I use Text instead of number it will. Now, If I change the letter E to
any other letter in the alphabet, using B as an example, the table will sort
by number giving me the following result

B
1B
2B
3B
4B
5B

Any thought or ideas on this would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Nelson
