I have a custom field that contains numeric data, like:
8, 7, 77, 88

However, if I order by this field custom field DESC, the results are unexpected.

Expected results:
88
77
8
7

Actual result:
88
8
77
7

I think it is ordering them fields in a textual way, but I need to do in a NUMERIC fashion. Suggestions?

Dear Stanislav,

In this case you will need to use a NUMERIC custom field, when you are creating your custom field this type needs to be this one. Single lines and others shouldn't work.

Please let me know if you are satisfied with my answer and if I can help you with any other questions you might have.

Adriano,

The field is not registered in Types. Can I register it and set its type as numeric?

Unfortunately not, to handle that you will need to create a new custom field on Types and choose Numeric type.

Please let me know if you are satisfied with my answer and if I can help you with any other questions you might have.
