That's what I am doing as a work-around while the identifiers are known just to 
contain numbers (in a string attribute).  I just cast the strings to integers, 
and sort in the conventional way.  That will break if and when the attribute 
contains a value that can't be cast to an integer.  I suppose I could extend 
that: instead of casting to an integer, pad the strings with '0's.  In any 
case, I just wondered if there was a more WO way to do it, but I suspect I 
misunderstood how EOSortOrderings worked, as I described in my previous post.
