From the users "Is there a way to change how Maximo sorts station numbers without adding a series of 0s before the station number? If you know you are going to have stations numbers in the 100s you have to add 001,002,003........ to make the sort work correctly and get the correct station order in the work package report."
Seems like there are a lot of extra key strokes as well.
When users are designing , they will usually pad the numbers for sorting. The main issue arises when modifications to the design are needed. Adding in stations can cause issues with the sorting.
Hi. This is expected behavior for an ALN field. If the value is always numeric then you consider configuring it to be an integer. If you are dealing with large integers, then consider bigint. If you need it to remain ALN but still show numbers, you could look at padding the numbers with 0 e.g. -> 001, 002...010...099, 100, 101, etc
