THe numbers in question come from a third party source already formatted with thousandths as 1,200 etc. So its not a question really of inputting them as 1200 and displaying them with commas.

I just want to be able to input them as I receive them i.e 1,300 into database and then be able to sort them by asc/desc correctly which obviously storing them as varchar does not do.
