I have a series of numbers in a field like this:

6.10
7.12
8.100
8.101
8.102
9.10
9.11
10.10
10.20

This was originally set as a text field, but it wouldn't sort the numbers correctly, so I changed it to a currency field. Now, however, if the decimal place is set to "auto", the third digit doesn't display. If I set it to "3", then every number that has only two decimal places has a zero on the end: 6.100, 7.120. Is there any way to just display what is entered and be able to sort them in numerical order as above?

Thanks.
 
Set the field size to Double. You don't need anything in the Format property, but it can be General Number.
