 ##### Sorting on Type fields
 
-Type fields can not be sorted in alphabetical order as they do not have a Name stored in the database, only a number. They sort by the underlying internal numerical value that indicates that particular type. This means you will see the column is sorted with identical types grouped together, however the displayed translated text representing these types is not sorted alphabetically. Type fields have square brackets around their translated display names in the column to indicate they are a type rather than a text field.
