Answer : varchar column1 sort, want to add 'hello'

Okay, so the values you have listed above work with the code, but when you add the word 'hello' to a column1 in a new row you get an error? Like I said this works fine for me with the word hello, but maybe it is something else going on. If you have data with more than two decimals by the way you might want Numeric(18,4) or choose a more appropriate data type. I just used that as an example!
