Number ordering

I feel like this must have been asked a million times but I can't seem to find an answer to resolve my issue, I have numbers out of order (1, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15) on a slicer visual which I wanted to use as a filter, but I can't work out how to get them into a clean ascending order (1, 2, 3, 4). Hopefully there's a nice easy fix?!

Just duplicate the column and Name this Column "SortingColumn" in Power Query and replace 12a with 12.1 and 12b with 12.2 and 12c with 12.3 and Keep the data type in decimal then Close and Apply and Sort the oringinal Column with Sort By Column in Destop 
Hope, Might help you this

Hello Muhammad, thank you for such a speedy response! Where do I find the sort by column for my slicer? I can do a "sort axis" but this only shows the column used in the visual.
