title: Converting varchar to int using phpmyadmin
body: <p>I'm trying to convert a table from <code>varchar</code> to <code>int</code>. The reason for this is because I'm trying to order the numbers on my website by the highest first. That's not the problem but because it's a variable it's ordering them wrong.</p>
  
  <p>When I try changing the table in PhpMyAdmin to an <code>INT</code> I get this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>1283 - Column 'referrals' cannot be part of FULLTEXT index </p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Maybe there's a query I have to put in. All help is much appreciated.</p>
