The ultimate answer is to ask your young siblings to sort them for you. The price is a little time and some candy. Or since so many people are unemployed, ask them to crowdsource and work for something in return!

Or just ask wolframalpha.

Set up a job through the Amazon mechanical Turk API and that might actually be possible to do programmatically.

That was my first thought - use a call to the MT api to get the sort done, and then "wait for response". Meets the requirements of the competition perfectly.
