Sorry, Ann, to keep my question simple, I didn't mention that each number is preceded by an alpha character. The numbers really look like this:
M-509 M-509 M-5104 M-5105 M-5115 M-512 M-5120 That sends a different message to Frame, signalling an alpha sort instead of a numeric sort. Sorry for the confusion.
