You need to change the bin/bb-disk.sh file. In there you will find lines
such as:

    eval "$DFCMD | $EGREP \"$DFUSE\" | $EGREP -v \"$DFEXCLUDE\" | $SORT
\"+${DFSORT}\" > $BBTMP/DFOUT.$$"

and

    wclen1=`eval "$DFCMD | $EGREP \"$DFUSE\" | $EGREP -v \"$DFEXCLUDE\"
| $SORT \"+${DFSORT}\" | $WC"`

(This is from BB 1.9i so your files may be a bit different.) As you can
see they have the sort command, and you need to change it to whatever
suits your system. In my case I change the sort command part to use the
'-nk' options (e.g. ...$SORT -nk \"+${DFSORT}\") as I am using Fedora.
