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)
