join(1) doesn't support numeric comparison currently.
It should, and that's already tracked at bug 6366.
If you could adjust the input so that it
sorts lexicographically it would work.
Two ways to do that are:
1. use a fixed width number format:
0001
0999
1000
2. sort input | join | sort -n
with obvious performance implications.
