Mmm, no ?
I thought that was the question from the OP... misreading :)

Yes, you are right, so I rewrite it a bit to be more *readable*:
sort lines of T numeric by AaZz_sort(char 1 of each)
function AaZz_sort x
get chartonum( x)
if IT > 96 then return ( IT - 96) * 2 + 1
else return ( IT - 64) * 2
end AaZz_sort

I'll try to come up with something else later...
