Employee Setup: Change sort rules for EE Code & Logins/Numbers field

Currently when you sort an employee list by the Employee Code or Logins / Numbers column, the items sort based on the first digit of the Code or Login only.

E.g. of current sequencing: 276, 298, 3, 315, 320, 338, 343, 344, 360, 361, 501, 6, 71, 76, 80, 83, 85, 998

Those numbers are not sequential or intuitive for a user to follow if they are trying to locate an employee by EE Code or Login / Number.

Instead, consider the following:

First sort Employee Code or Logins based on how many digits there are in the number
Then, from least amount of digits to most amount of digits, put them in numerical order.
Present list accordingly.

So using the same example as above, the sequencing would change to: 3, 6, 71, 76, 80, 83, 85, 276, 298, 315, 320, 338, 343, 344, 360, 361, 501, 998

All of the Codes and Logins that have 1 digit in them are presented in numerical order first, then all of the Codes and Logins that have 2 digits in them are presented next in numerical order, then all of the Codes and Logins that have 3 digits are presented next in numerical order, and so on and so forth.

This gives the clients an ideal sort based on what is truly numerical order vs. value of first digit.

Example of current sort attached for reference and to better demonstrate the examples communicated above.
