    What you want to do, i guess, is order numerically by the digits preceeding the first hyphen?

    like ...

    order by ... to_number(substr(NYS_MODEL,1,instr(NYS_MODEL,'-')-1))

    Haven't tested it, but you get the picture.

    And the need to perform such manipulations should send up a very large red flag telling you that your database is not designed correctly.

    But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong

    actually I didn't notice
    only need to

    order by M.NYS_MODEL

    because AND M.MFG = 'ATCCCC'
    will stay the same anyways........
