sorting by numerical value

[andrzejnovak]

Currently sorting something like cross-section doesn't work correctly because the interface treats numerical values as text a.k.a sorting [123, 21, 3] from highest to lowest will given [3, 21, 123]. Could the sort for numerical columns work of the actual value?

I checked the values of cross-sections, some of them are string type while others are float type. This inconsistency may be a historical issue. So we need to unify all the types of cross-section values to be float before we sort them.
Unifying the type of values could be considered in the future, but we need to be careful enough not to ruin the XSDB database.
