  Hi,
  
  I have a price field that I would like to save as a number rather than a string so i can sort by value properly. How do I save a field as a number data type?

  @hartey11– Piklist supports are HTML5 fields, including number:
```
  piklist('field', array(
    'type' => 'number'
    ,'field' => 'my_number'
    ,'label' => 'Enter a number'
  ));
```

  Thanks Steve, I’ve currently got it as a number type but when I var_dump() the result it returns the value as a string?

  That’s odd. When I use that field, pull the value and use in an equation it works for me.
