I can't reproduce this using r3.
Mine was in R4 ... and I didn't recall this happening previously.
After working through this, I realized that the opportunity for up to
9,999 iterations of each letter variant can occur, so I've changed
the tool that produces the output to provide the numeric component
with leading 0's.
I will put together an example later this evening.

Hi Folks,
I've an array that will contain a list of values that consist of a
letter and then a number (non-zero padded). The order the
elements are received is random. For example:
D1
S13
S1
S2
S12
S10
S11
S3
S4
D2
S14
S15
S5
S9
S7
S6
S8
Given that list order, I issue the array.sort and expect something
that looks like this:
D1
D2
S1
S10
S11
S12
S13
S14
S15
S2
S3
S4
S5
S6
S7
S8
S9
However, the S1 is coming AFTER the S15 in the actual sort (in
this example).
D1
D2
S10
S11
S12
S13
S14
S15
S1
S2
S3
S4
S5
S6
S7
S8
S9
In all of my other sorts, S1 is less than S10
Is this a bug, or is my expectation of ascending sorts somehow
misguided?
