In WordPress, the _postmeta table has a column “meta_value” with the “longtext” data type. However, I’m storing integer data in the column and I want to ORDER BY the column by the integers’ value.

For example, if I use “ORDER BY meta_value”, the result turns out to be something like this:

999
9456
5
123456
111
