It has ALWAYS seemed like a silly sort order because many organizations have numbers incorporated as part of the name - union locals, for example. It has always, and still does, seem silly to me to put CUPE 606 after CUPE 2000 in the sort order. I understand why it does it, but I've never understood why we would choose to use that kind of sort.
