I know (the hard way  ) the Kindle treats a - before a number as a minus, so you get a descending order -5, -4,-3,-2..

More info:
This issue is on the device (Paperwhite). If I plug the same template into a custom column, the sorting is done correctly. In regards to your comment about '-' preceding a number, that makes sense. However the '-', in this case, comes after the number so it should have no such effect. Would you suggest swapping out for a ':' to be safe? For what it's worth, when I used #7's fix, I used ':' and ended up with the same issue.
I considered the possibility that the error arises from the fact that the whole number values aren't followed by '.0'. I can manually test this, but seems odd.
Thoughts?
