I have a column in SQL Server 2005 that stores a version number as a string that i would like to sort by. I have been unable to find out how to sort this column, although i am guessing it would be some kind of custom function or compare algorithm.
Can anyone point me in the right direction of where to start? I may be googling the wrong stuff.
Cheers
Tris
I’d use separate int columns (e.g. MajorCol + MinorCol if you are tracking major + minor versions) and run something like
in my query.
