I have opened an issue on MorganaXProc III,
https://sourceforge.net/p/morganaxproc-iiise/tickets/178/, Achim says
numeric is currently not supported as an UCA collation argument, but he
will look into whether it is feasible implementing it.


On the other hand, Norm has released the first XML Calabash 3 tonight
and I have checked that the suggestion with the UCA numeric collation
argument above (corrected to <p:with-input select="//*:file =>
sort('http://www.w3.org/2013/collation/UCA?numeric=yes', function($f) {
$f!@name })"/> to sort on the name attribute of a file element) works
with XML Calabash.
