Thanks a lot in advance!

Unlike Trados, DVX does count numbers Dec 5, 2006

Decimal conversions can be (de-)activated in this checkbox:
Menu/Tools/Options/General/Conversions/Allow decimal conversions

DVX does not skip segments containing numbers only, but you can select whether it will ignore them in the terminology check via this checkbox:
Menu/Tools/Options/General/Terminology Checks/Also check numerals

Sort by alpha -> right-click -> Finished -> Natural sort. Numbers are out of your way if you're using Alt-Arrow down.
