Hah! Try out [lsort -dictionary], which comes close to reading your mind
in a lot of cases...

One of the cases, where -dictionary fails, is with negative numbers, though.

Given that, there is currently no way to lsort signed bigintegers, except
for the general "do it yourself, but slow" -command.

Has this already been discussed? Are negative numbers and numbers > 2G just
too rarely together in a list to matter, or is a TIP overdue (even if it
likely won't make it into 8.6)?
