database list not successfully alphabetizing

Hi,

I have a database and I'm trying to sort the entries in the list view by a column I've named Category.
It's not working.
I have it set as the default and I've also set it from within the list view.
I've tried sorting by other columns and then switching back and sorting by Category.
I've tried other columns and it alphabetizes better but still not perfectly.

Any suggestions on what to try?

What kind of field of your 'Category'? Text or dropdown?

eh, if it is a Category, try to use Dropdown menu, then you can use a set of Category names.
