st: using encode to order string distances

Hi all,
I have distances stored in strings like:
0-9
10-19
20-29
30-39
up to
90-99
100+
I want to encode these to keep the current values as labels and replace the numbers behind them as 1-12.
When I encode and generate a new variable I end up with 100+ as the 3rd value rather than the 12th value.
How can I force encode to make sure 100+ is the 12th and not the 3rd value.
I'm using
encode nearestcentre, generate(NRCENT)
Best wishes
Tim
