Subject:      My first Post: Sorting on Proc Format'ed data

I want to sort a variable that I formatted with a Proc Format, but its not
sorting as I wish. It appears to be sorting on the underlying value. How do
I change that?

My Proc Format looks like this (the original value is numeric)

Proc Format;
Value AdrTyp
  27 = '06 Business'
  28 = '02 Day Care'
  29 = '01 Homeless'
  30 = '05 Penal Institution'
  31 = '07 Permanent Mailing Address'
  32 = '09 Residence'
  6271 = '08 Residence 2'
  6272 = '04 Other Mailing'
  6273 = '03 Common';
run;

It won't sort as '01...', '02...', etc. I'd like it to sort on the new
format.

Super new at SAS. I searched the archives and didn't find anything.
