Hello all.
I’m learning KNIME system to replace Excel.
I tried to use ‘sorter’ node to see the highest number in a string.
However, even i use that node and set to sort by ‘descending’, numbers in a string were not changed.
please see the attached file i uploaded
how can i solve this problem?
or, if you have any recommendation to see the highest number, please tell me.
Thank you.
Hi @kimsd0826
Replacing EXCEL with KNIME is always +1
To sort your input column in the desired order, you have to be aware of the column-type. Your input is a string, and the sorter node treats it as a string.
You have convert your string-column to an integer-column, by using the String to Number node or the Table Manipulator node.

Thanks for the reply but I still have a problem to understand.
Could you tell me what is the difference between string-column and integer-column?
Btw, I could solve the problem. Thank you!
One is recognized as a number, the other isn’t.
