How can I order based on a specific sequence? In my view I have the following items: - X1 - X2 - X17

The order in the view is being displayed as: - X1 - X17 - X2

How can I force the first type of sequence?

    Then you cannot sort on single line of text like you wanted... However you can add one more number field "order" and sort on that column. Commented May 5, 2019 at 8:47

Add leading zeros: X01-05, X01-12, X02-01, X17-01

If you don't want to change the data, add a calculated column that inserts the leading zeros and sort on it, but don't display it.
