Smalyshev added a comment. I like the idea of a visual pattern, but the difference between YYYYYYYYYYYYYYY and YYYYYYYYYYYYY is not comprehensible to humans and will only lead to errors and frustration. At least I can easily tell between 2 and 6, but beyond about 5 identical objects pattern recognition for most people returns "a lot of objects" and you can not work with that. So if we found a better pattern-like representation for 0 to 9, I think it might be workable. Maybe something like 9Y, 8Y, ..., 2Y, Y, YM, etc... ? This however does not sort, but the idea is to get something that humans can distinguish.
