Hope this is the correct forum - if not sorry.

I have a query which returns a value of the form: '20010822.1338.1'.

I would like to order the results, sorting :

		1st: 20010822
		2nd: 1338
		3rd: 1


I can do this in perl, but have not found a way to do this using ORDER BY.

I am VERY new to DB's; biologist trying to do informatics.

Thanks.
