 * Hi -and sorry for blitzing things today. I added a custom field called member_id
   as I just wanted a number but accidentally added it as a text field.
 * I then selected that as the link field from the List page to the single page.
   I noticed though, that the sort was weird and then realised it was an alpha sort(
   so, 1, 10, 11, 12, 2, 3 etc.)
 * So, I changed the definition of the field to numeric but now it doesn’t list 
   that field in the drop down t oselect the link field. Is that correct?
 * Many Thanks
