It's not that simple. You're conflating the sorting method with
the locale's collation rules. Under Debian's en_US.UTF-8 locale
even straight lexicographic sort can be surprising:
% foo=(1, 1a,); print -lr -- ${(o)foo}
1,
1a,
% foo=(1,a 1a,a); print -lr -- ${(o)foo}
1,a
1a,a
% foo=(1,b 1a,b); print -lr -- ${(o)foo}
1a,b
1,b
I'm afraid I can't explain this; perhaps someone else can. If it
bothers you, consider temporarily setting LC_ALL=C (or C.UTF-8)
while you sort.
