data extraction arrangement

I do a data extraction with blocks named P1, P2 ect. and when i get to P10, P11 ect., data extraction won't put P10 after P9.  Can this be fixed?

Thanks

It is clear that the sorting is in alphabetical order. If you want to sort numbers alphabetically, then they must have the same number of characters. Use leading zero alignment. Change blocks like P01, P02, .. P10, P11

I normally use leading zeroes too, or if that doesn’t work for your set up, open the extraction in excel, convert the content to a table, and sort then

One way is to add an attribute for sorting purposes.  Using attout and attin from the express tab you can then add the sorting values as needed in excel.
