how about adding zeroes at the end of integers to make to equal to the integer with maximum number of digits and sort them...
ex- 101 10 adding zeroes.. 101 100 sort 100 101 therefore make number as 10110 100 1 adding zeroes 100 100 therefore number is 1100 I am not sure of the method.....if there is any counter case please do suggest...
