Can I use a character set other than ASCII?

Hi all,<br>
<br>
We just reciently converted our distribution application from a Unisys 'A' series platform to an IBM RS/6000. Sorting on the 'A' was numeric/alpha. Sorting on the rs/6000 is alpha/numeric. Is there a way to change or modify the character set on the rs/6000 so that text is sorted numeric/alpha? <br>
<br>
Please note that we are not using a database. We are running a COBOL application with ISAM data tables.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
