how to make descending...?

[Kamch]

Hello all of you,
On querying to MySQL "SELECT * FROM `sys_files` ORDER BY `downloads` DESC", the results are:
bla - bla - 5
bla - bla - 202
bla - bla - 201
bla - bla - 10001
bla - bla - 10
bla - bla - 1

So, please suggest how to order them to be descending i.e.

bla - bla - 10001
bla - bla - 202
bla - bla - 201
bla - bla - 10
bla - bla - 5
bla - bla - 1 -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

I lloks as if you store numbers in a text column and that is why they are ordered alphabetically. So, change the column to a numeric type. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
