[wp-hackers] Please Help: How to compare 2 float values in meta_value column?

[Michael Pretty]

One option:

Add filters to 'posts_where' and 'posts_join' to do your own join to the 
postmeta table and where clause that compared the values cast as float.  
Then add a query_var to identify when this filter should run and what 
values to use.

Second option:

Though this won't work if you need the between operator, you could store 
the prices in the postmeta table as a string with leading zeros so that 
all values are the same width.  Then compare to '00023.00' and '00041.00'.
