Hidden Field Sort

I have a field called ‘vote’ that is hidden on the form, but visible after that. I would like to sort on that field which will only contain numeric values, but it seems a hidden field is a text field. This causes an improper sort. Can you please suggest how to handle.

You can get around this by use a number field type, and check the "admin only" box in the field options. This will make the number field be hidden for non-admin users, and then will sort as a number.
