Subject: Sorting alpha numeric values

Sorry, I trivialized my sample.  Will try again.

I want to sort a data set:
<Root>
<Elem val = "A1"/>
<Elem val = "A21Value"/>
<Elem val = "A21Fred"/>
<Elem val = "A3George"/>
<Elem val = "B3Value"/>
<Elem val = "B10Valuf"/>
</Root>

Into:
A1
A3George
A21Fred
A21Value
B3Value
B10Valuf

Sorting by the number and alpha prefix is essential, sorting by any
suffix of numbers and alphas would be 'icing on the cake'.
Thanks again
