250-400 5200
30-50 16083
400+ 9499
50-100 19214
But I want it to be displayed as

1-10 54519
10-30 33101

Hi,
create table srttest (col1 varchar2(10),col2 varchar2(10))
insert into srttest values ('0-0' ,'96755');
insert into srttest values ('1-10' ,'54519');
insert into srttest values ('50-100' ,'19214');
insert into srttest values ('100-250' ,'15297');
insert into srttest values ('250-400' ,'5200');
insert into srttest values ('400+' ,'9499');
insert into srttest values ('10-30' ,'33101');
insert into srttest values ('30-50' ,'16083');
select * from srttest
order by to_number(substr(col1,1,instr(col1,'-')-1))

All,
If all members can provide "create table" and "Insert statements" in their sql related questions then it would be easy to test.
