Description:
Trying to generate a numeric RANK for multiple columns containing strings to do sorting on numerical indices instead of string comparisions in the frontend software.

Oracle has a function to do exactly this, the documentation to the function is here:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/9i/RankDenseRankFirstLastAnalyticFunctions.php

A more extensive Document is located here:
