    Try this:

    Code:
    SELECT * FROM table WHERE search_field RLIKE '[0-9]%'
    not tested tho, depends on many factors such as your MySQL Version, field definition..

    Good luck,

      PHP Code:
      SELECT col_1 FROM table1 WHERE col_1 REGEXP '[0-9]%'

    If you are wanting to get all the records but the ones starting with numbers first, then I'm pretty sure you can just use.. SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY fieldname ASC

    It will order by numberical and then by alphabet.

    Andy.. I was just trying to get only those records which are starting with a numerical value. Not for the alphabets
