There really is no need to do this.  The Number field is a string-entry,
it will let you input anything you want.  The SORTING mechanism from the
Num field is a NUMERIC sort; it effectively performs the C-function call
atoi() on the contents.  This means you could do something like:

1.16274
2.0023
3.172323

And it will sort based on the 1, 2, 3.
