1) Don't you mean:

         var z = x.toString();

so that you're converting the cleaned-up value (x) instead of the 
original value (y)?


2) Because this thread is "sort replace question" I'm wondering: why 
are you converting to string before sorting?  Isn't your sort of 
floating-point numbers working correctly?
