Is the order he/we want to have the sort return.
What you get is
ABCD
FFFF
0000
13AF
Big Problem.
Well sure, if your talking Character hex; I thought you
were talking true binary values; with hex on:
000001
0044444
0000000
--------------
000002 ®
1A44444
3F00000
--------------
000003 ¿ò
AC44444
BD00000
--------------
000004
FF44444
FF00000
Now I understand what you were saying.

Any
one know of such a beast?

I don't see the problem. Get into edit of the file, and issue
==> sort col1 col2 {A|D}
where "col1" indicates the first byte of your UCB value
and "col2" indicates the last byte; who cares if they're
hex? Should work as is; ISPF will treat them as unexamined
data and sort by the content.
