Ear tags not appearing in numerical order
For example, the order is listed as 1, 10, 100, 2, 20, etc.
The identification boxes are alpha-numeric, which enables numbers, text, and characters to be entered rather than just numbers. The entries are read from left to right, so that is why the order appears as 1 then 10 then 100 then 2, etc.
For the entries to appear in numerical order, all of the entries will need to be the same length. Place holders (such as zeroes) can be used to make the needed length. For example, if the longest tag is 3 digits, 1 would become 001. The tag 10 would become 010.
