Re: "Convert in Integer" for MA or any guru, please!

You haven't told us where you would expect to sort All, Even, or Odd.

You can use an expression (or function) in the sorting and grouping levels
rather than a field name. That's why someone suggested you use:
=CInt([txtLayer])

Properly handling the text and numeric values may require a small function.
You could also try an expression like:

=Right(" " & [txtLayer], 4)
