Here's on last stab at using Rev's built-in sort:
sort lines of fld 1 numeric by (lineOffset(word 1 of each, fld 1)*100000 + (word 2 of each))
Woo hoo! Everyone loves cryptic one-liners! =P

I would have used the same code as yours, however, it doesn't preserve the original alphabetic order (which I assumed he wanted--if not then your code is perfect).
My code (and Frank's) ends up with the list sorted like this:
IPAE 1 IPAE 7 IPAE 16 LAG 1 JKAL 2 JKAL 3 JKAL 11
Yours puts LAG 1 at the end, since it sorts the entire list aphabetically. So if he wants to keep the original alpha order intact and just sort within the alpha groups, you need to add a little more control to the sorts. Otherwise the simple solution is fine.
Ah... that explains it...thanks for letting me know!
