Description

I am attempting to design a Shopify order template and need the orders to print in order (numerically) by product number. Unfortunately it ends up in this order:
01
07
104
13

I have also tried the "sort_natural" filter. Any suggestions? Is there a better filter/pipe? I can alter the product codes so there are no leading zeros, but that will not fix the three digit problem...

Thanks for any assistance.
