Good workaround, but ugly. Also, the length of these numbers is not
upwardly bounded, so I'd have to prepend a lot of zeroes to be sure of
the sorting.

Maybe there's a way to prepend zeros, do the sorting, and the remove
the zeroes before display?

Am I to assume there is not way to specify the sorting, numerical vs
alphabetical?
