Problem statement

We are considering running our production using InvenTree, but we are encountering a problem: we cannot sort our component IDs numerically.

Suggested solution

We would prefer numerical sorting rather than text-based sorting; this makes working with IPNs much easier and allows for better filtering. A filter option to select a specific range or individual numbers would also be useful.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Text-based sorting doesn't necessarily have to be removed entirely in favor of numerical sorting, but the ability to choose the preferred sorting method would be a very helpful feature.
