sort xmldatasource by number

[jkrause]

Is there a way to sort an XML datasource of a number field instead of string?  Right now it seems to sort a field of numbers in a set of nodes alphabetically; so 10, 11, etc come before 2, 3, 4 in ascending order.  Do I have to sort the xml datasource outside of JasperReports in order to get a proper number sort?  Is this a feature request?

Are you using a sort field for this?  If so, is the report field declared as java.lang.Integer (or other numerical type)?

Ah, that seems to be it.  I had defined it as Integer, but it got changed to String somewhere in the process of debugging. 

Thank you so much.
