It hates me:
SELECT * FROM ... WHERE `type` IN ('Member', 'Affiliated', 'Life
Member') ORDER BY CAST(rollnumber AS int)
SELECT * FROM ... WHERE `type` IN ('Member', 'Affiliated', 'Life
Member') ORDER BY CAST(`rollnumber` AS int)
SELECT * FROM ... WHERE `type` IN ('Member', 'Affiliated', 'Life
Member') ORDER BY CAST('rollnumber' AS int)
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds
to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'int) ASC'
at line 1
I'll keep trying.

CAST it to an integer in the ORDER BY clause.

Ok, I think this is a MySQl question. Take pity on me?
$sql = "SELECT * FROM $db.`mailinglist` WHERE `type` IN ('Member',

rollnumber is a varchar(50). I need it to be a text field. ASC does
not order the way I want.
1000
1001
998
999
I want it to order like this:
998
999
1000
1001
How do I trick it? I cannot think of a way in MySQL. Is there a way
in PHP?
