Not sure what those square brackets are doing there, but your main
problem is that MySQL has no way of knowing what order you think those
rating strings should be in. The string '5.5' is greater than '5.10c',
and the number 5.5 is greater than 5.10. I think you're going to need
to change the way you represent the ratings -- maybe something like
'5.05' and '5.10c' would work (depending on what other possibilities
are, and how the letters are supposed to affect sorting). Then
manipulate the strings to produce what you're used to when it comes time
to display them (that, or have two columns: one for display and one for
sorting).
