I need to be able to display a money field as $XX,XXX.XX, but without converting to varchar using total_eval = '$' + CONVERT(varchar(19),total_eval.opvValueMoney,1)

My project uses sorting of the information after I pull this to sort the column and it doesn't sort correctly when the column is a varchar.

Is there anyway to do this?
