Yeah, for real, man. My budget app has a tab for expenses which has Amount (currency), description (text), Due date "25th" (numeric with text), and percentages "5.4%" (numeric with text)
I had to build two different sorting algorithms and a function to strip numbers out of the numeric/text fields, then select case based on the column to finally make it work fast on a mobile device. I recoded my sorting sub like 4 times before I got it to move quickly. Had to use a couple arrays and some good ol' bubble sorting
