Try *LANGIDUNQ - this seems to use the ASCII order.

Am processing a native file and producing output (printed)
that needs to appear in what remote cust recognizes as
ascii order (numbers before characters).
Some of the sort fields values are all numeric, some all
alpha, some mixed.
So if our system as is produces
ABC
ABCD
ABC101
12345

I need in order of
12345
ABC
ABC101
ABCD
