This situation with weird sorts is often reached after poor system design.
On re-reading, I see that you know a filename which did not appear in post #1. Either a tutor or a someone working on the same problem?
Yeah, I was working on the same problem (a couple of weeks back now), but it's due in next week so you're probably going to get a lot of traffic soon :P
This particular issue is probably the most difficult aspect of it, too, which is why I was keen not to just give him the answer.
You're not to know, though, and the support on this forum helped me tremendously.

abc ||| 5e-05 ||| bla
abc ||| 3 ||| ble
def ||| 1 ||| abc
