Just wondering why dollars are stored as String instead of Int

Saving the data as String makes the sort feature unusable whereas using Int and prefixing the value with "$" would allow me to sort by the numerical value. For example, if I sort my coins in Collection Manager by Value, the order they appear is $10, $100, $102, $12, $120, $13. If they were Int they could be sorted $10, $12, $13, $100, $102, $120. The work around I have found is to export a financial report to xls and remove all of the special characters. It easily lets me sort the data however I want.

Wanted to thank the devs for fixing this. I don't know if it had anything to do with this post, but thanks nonetheless.
