In a desperate attempt to get calibre to show the actual order in which I've added books I created a custom column that shows calibre's internal id for each book, which conveniently is a simple integer that increments every time you add a book.

I've told CC to add this custom column to be available to sort by, and it is, except it sorts in ascii mode such that 900 comes after 8000, which is slightly awkward.

How to fix?
