Default Sorting data

I have a table named Items, in this table the items are defined by Name,
Size, and Format. When first setting up the table I added a few of my items
to get the process going. I then created a query based on this table to sort
by name, size, and format. When creating a sort order in the query by
Name(Ascending), Size(descending), and Format(Ascending) the result works
perfectly.

However, after adding new items either through the Table or Items Form I
created, the sort works for Name and Format but the Size is not following the
sort order(new itemssize is actually being ordered in reverse while the
original entrys are being sorted properly), short of re-creating the whole
Items table I have tried deleting the query and starting over, clearing all
sorts in the query and doing a refresh and save and then re-creating the sort
orders with the same results.

This is something basic but I can't seem to figure it out.
