I have a Dynamic Field of type Text where only numbers are entered (RegEx ^[1-9][0-9]*$).
When I use this DF as a sortable column in e.g. AgentTicketQueue, the sorting works alphanumerically (1, 10, 11, ..., 2, 3, ...) instead of numerically (1, 2, 3, ..., 10, 11, ...) as intended.
How can I fix this? AFAIK, there is no DF type "number".

Re: Sorting a Text field that contains only numbers
Until OTRS (or KIX) implement dynamic fields of type integer, I'll have to solve this with padding, i.e. 0001, 0002, 0003, ..., 0010, 0011, ...). Unattractive, but manageable.

You can add custom Javascript, here's a JS example: http://jsfiddle.net/bysz2gkz/
The JS file can be added via the module registrations or global.

I've tried to run the JSFiddle, but I cannot see it doing anything. How does it sort?

Re: Sorting a Text field that contains only numbers
Yes, brilliant, it works like a charm! Thank you very much!
One remark: the RegEx \A[+-]?[0-9]+\z means I may enter e.g. "+7", but this value is not saved. Entering "7" is saved, of course; so is e.g. "-3". I think I'll change the RegEx to \A-?[0-9]+\z in both subs that use it.
