Q: Ensuring file selection list is in alpha order?

Q: How do I ensure that the returned file alias list of the current finder selection is always sorted alphanumerically, or force it to sort?

The short version:

set OurFileList to selection
-- result:
{document file "A13" of folder "XYZ" of disk "HD1"; document file "C12" of folder "XYZ" of disk "HD1"; document file "D14" of folder "XYZ" of disk "HD1"; document file "A10" of folder "XYZ" of disk "HD1"}
-- result I need:
{document file "A10" of folder "XYZ" of disk "HD1"; document file "A13" of folder "XYZ" of disk "HD1"; document file "C12" of folder "XYZ" of disk "HD1"; document file "D14" of folder "XYZ" of disk "HD1"}


Any insight appreciated.

Cheers
