public static NUMERIC : Number

Represents numeric sorting instead of string-based sorting. String-based sorting, which is the default setting, treats numbers as strings when sorting them. For example, string-based sorting places 10 before 3. A numeric sort treats the elements as numbers so that 3 will be placed before 10. You can use this constant for the options parameter in the sort() or sortOn() method. The value of this constant is 16.
