Hello hydroeric,

You may be able to do this by setting the override.sort for the band to alphanumeric
then overriding each of the root level nodes with the sort for the common
property.

Alternatively, set override.sort for the band to alphanumeric and manually
quicksort the top-level items using node.reposition.

Cheers,
