It's worth checking, but this might be faster (but less robust):

function goodNumber var
  replace comma with empty in var
  return var
end goodNumber

if that does work, then I'd replace it with a more general function:

function replaceF S,F,R
  replace F with R in S
  return S
end replaceF

and then call it with

sort yourData numeric by replaceF(item columnOfInterest of each,comma,empty)
