Help wit h "Order by"

I have an ASP page written with FrontPage.  The page consists of three columns.  Column one lists each possible value of one of my table fields (Cause).  Column two is a count showing how many times each cause appears in the main table of my db.  And column three shows the percentage of times the value occurs in the db.  Here is my problem, I want my results to appear in numeric order, highest to lowest.  When I add Order By Count DESC, it orders them, but only on the first digit.  So the number 3 appears before the number 25.  Any ideas on how to get it to do a true sort???

How about this with the idea of converting to a long integer:

Order By CLng(Count) DESC
