Given that the original poster asked about "4 digit UCB's - hexidecimal values" and that the Subject is "Can I do a Hex Sort", I assumed we were talking about sorting '0'-'9' before 'A'-'F' which will work just fine with AC. Obviously, if we were talking about a broader set of characters, AC might not be appropriate.
