Build Identifier: 3.6.1 M20110210-1200

When I use the xpath sort function within Jet, my users complain that the sort is not as expected.  Specifically, sort order is:

AA
AB
Aa

Rather than
AA
Aa
AB

I suggest that the sort defaults to using a natural sort order, rather than ASCII sort order

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create XML data including the items AB, AA, Aa
2. Sort using the XPath sort function in JET
3. Expected result is order AA, Aa, AB
