1) Make sure your numbers have no leading white space.

2) Make sure you have 'Number' selected in the Sort by drop-down on the Sort
dialog.

I don't want to put 0 prefix in the numbers in my table to get Word2002 to
sort correctly by numbers. That is, I am getting 11, 12, 13 etc. after 1
(instead of 2) and 21,22,23 after 2 (instead of 3). What can I do?
