Hello,

Pages has ancient issue of records ordering when number is involved:

Could contain: Electronics, Computer, Text

When you configure a text field containing number and use it to order records, the order will go wrong following way:

  • 1.1.1.0
  • 1.1.1.1
  • 1.1.1.10
  • 1.1.1.11
  • 1.1.1.12
  • 1.1.1.2
  • 1.1.1.3

valid order should be

  • 1.1.1.0
  • 1.1.1.1
  • 1.1.1.2
  • 1.1.1.3
  • 1.1.1.10
  • 1.1.1.11
  • 1.1.1.12

What is valid would depend on context. 

The only real solution would be to offer a selection for the various ordering types.

Valid in aspect of numbering order.

So there is no option to properly order version number for e.g. software. As @opentypesuggested, there would be a need of option to allow to control ordering type text/number for this kind of fields, as regular number field won't allow non-number input 🙂

Precisely, I'm afraid, what is happening is currently intended so you would need to create a topic in our Feature Suggestion forum for any new ordering schemes.
