Custom sorting for a Table column

Question

I have a Table object with multiple columns. The first is an alphanumeric unique identifier that is usually utilized by clients as String representations of integers. When a client does use integers, the sorting is completely off. Here is a sample list of how Studio Creator sorts this data:
1
10
11
12
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9I obviously would like 10, 11, and 12 to come after 9. One way I could do this is to sort the values after they have been left-padded with zeros; however, I don't know how to implement this. I created a small class that implements Comparator in a way that will left-pad all Strings up to a max of 25 characters long, and then sorts them.
How can I have Studio Creator sort like I want it to? Thanks.

Answer 1

Solved.
I continued down the path of the object that implements Comparator and left-pads all values with zeros up to a total length of 25; I also sorted alphanumeric characters after numeric characters. I overwrote .compare(), .equals(), and .toString(). The issue was that I had to create a custom Converter for the TextField to be able to write updates to it.
