i'm new to mysql and php. when i sort a set of results by say "filesize" it returns something like this:
119 125 26 231 this is obviously not what i want, but it is sorting alphabetically, instead of the whole integer. anyone know a way around this?

What is the data type for the column? If it isn't numeric (i.e. it IS char, varchar, text, blob, etc) then it will sort alphabetically. If it IS a numeric data type than it will sort numerically.
