View sorting on hidden ID not Name I have a field in the View called Dealer Name. Dealer Name is populated from a list that looks like this:

#111 | Dealer 1
#112 | Dealer 3
#113 | Dealer 3


I need this field to be Alphabetically Sortable but when I apply sortable it sorts on the ID. What befuzzles me is that in the HTML only the Name is printed not the ID so how does it know to sort on the ID? (see below)

&lt;td class="views-field views-field-field-da-dealer"&gt;
    Dealer Name
&lt;/td&gt;


How can I change this behaviour to sort on the Name?
When you edit your view, you should see "Sort Criteria" at the bottom of the left column. I think it defaults to "Updated date". If anything is in this section, you'll probably want to delete it and then click on "Add" to pick the id as your real sort criterion.
