It is not a natural order, natural order is the one you are getting.
Easy way would be to change the table so that D and number would be in
different columns. Another way is to use some string manipulation
functions to parse string into character and a number and then order by
number. This might mean slow queries if you have many rows in your table
so first solution is better if it is possible to do.
left() right() and length() functions atleast are able to to do this.
I'm not sure if there is a better way to do it, you can look for such
functions from the manual: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/String_functions.html

The data file is a simple Unicode file with lines of text. BCP
apparently doesn't guarantee this ordering, and neither does the
import tool. I want to be able to load the data either sequentially or
add line numbering to large Unicode file (1 million lines). I don't
want to deal with another programming language if possible and I
wonder if there's a trick in SQL Server to get this accomplished.
Thanks for any help.

Hi All
I am finding unexpected results when inserted into a newly created
table that has a field of datatype int identity (1,1).
Basically the order I sort on when inserting into the table is not
reflected in the order of the values from the identity field.
Have I been wrong in assuming that it should reflect the order from the
sort?

Hello again Bytes...I missed you!
First, background:
In a hotstick lab, we ship orders every two years. We ship a new order and the customer uses the new box to return the previous year's order. For example, in November 2007 we shipped an order. November 2009 those sticks expire, and we ship a new order (because customers can't be without sticks) and when they receive the new 2009 order they ship back the old 2007 order.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
