some one please let us know how to get the same order what was existing 
earlier. 

One wonders how X(4) can be converted to S9(9) COMP.

If the data was always BINARY (just not described as such) the same sort
should work (unless some of the numbers were negative). But I would suggest
that more has changed and that this is the tip of the iceberg.

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.
