Probably simpler to create a duplicate array containing a converted

Many moons ago I had to explore a similar problem and ultimately this
turned out to be the best/safest approach. Part of the reason is that
using ALSEQ affects a number of different operations not just SORTA.
But it doesn’t affect everything you might expect. The RPG manual
lists all the opcodes actually affected.

Thanks, Jon. Worked like a champ.
