I believe this calls for an application of the GRT (untested):
Actually, what you have there is a ST (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwartzian_transform). A GRT (http://www.sysarch.com/Perl/sort_paper.html) is characterised by having a simple lexical sort rather than requiring a routine. Like this:
$ perl -le '
> @arr = qw{ TEXT1 TEXT3 TEXT11 TEXT2 TEXT13 };
> print for
> map { substr $_, 9 }
> sort
> map { sprintf q{%09d%s}, ( split m{(?<=[A-Z])(?=\d)} )[ 1 ], $_
+}
> @arr;'
TEXT1
TEXT2
TEXT3
TEXT11
TEXT13
$
I hope this is of interest.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
