I think that the OP means that the data is in DISPLAYABLE hex such as:
0010
001A
0022
002C
and wants the characters A..F to sort after the characters 0..9
What I do in this case is:
c c'a' x'fa' col1 col2 all
c c'b' x'fb' col1 cols all
c c'c' x'fc' col1 cols all
c c'd' x'fd' col1 cols all
c c'e' x'fe' col1 cols all
c c'e' x'ff' col1 cols all
sort col1 col2
c x'fa' c'a' col1 col2 all
c x'fb' c'b' col1 col2 all
c x'fc' c'b' col1 col2 all
c x'fd' c'd' col1 col2 all
c x'fe' c'e' col1 col2 all
c x'ff' c'a' col1 col2 all
