I am very new to LotusNotes and do not have a background in IT. I have taken over multiple projects at work which require me to learn about programming and using some new features in the system and I've run into a small issue. 

I created a view which has a column containing various numbers, some of which contain a decimal and some of which don't (e.g. 100, 10.5, 7.2, 73) I would like to sort the column by the value, however the numbers are not being sorted by their value, but rather by the prefacing number. 

Example: 100, 10.5, 7.2, 73

I apologize if this is not the right forum to ask this question, but as I mentioned I am kind of on my own and trying to teach myself some of the basic navigation of the system. Any help would be appreciated.
