Did you want to use numeric characters in your MT's custom field?
Movable Type's default custom field hasn't numeric type options.
In MT5, there are these type fields.
- Sinle-Line Text
- Multi-Line Text
- Checkbox
- URL
- Date and Time
- Drop Dwon Menu
- Radio Buttons
- Embed Object
- Asset
- Audio
- Image
- Video
If you use a plugin named "NumericCustomFields", you can choose for another "Integer" and "Float" type of fields.
If you want to sort entries or pages by numeric custom field, you write a code like this.
<mt:Entries sort_by="field:number1" sort_order="ascend"> foo bar
</mt:Entries>
"NumericCustomFields" is developed and provided by Hajime Fujimoto, one of the most famous Japanese MT hacker.

Hajime said that we cannot sort by a numeric fields in archive templates earlier MT4.261 version. This is attributed to MT's bug.
