Wave sorting order

I have a series of waves:

eg:
wave1
wave2
...
wave10
...
wave20
...

that

When plotting or performing WaveSort(WaveList("*",";","")) the order is:

wave1
wave10
wave11
...
wave2
wave20
wave21
...


Is there a way to get the waves in ascending order when doing wavesort and making plots? Thank you.
Your wavesort function must be something written by someone other than WaveMetrics.

But sorting in Igor can be done in increasing or decreasing order, and you can turn on "alphanumeric" sort which will sort wave2 before wave10. So look inside the definition of wavesort() and change the Sort command (or SortList command, maybe).
