DB2 sort to Oracle?

We need to set up a validation program (using powerbuilder) to compare the data in an Oracle db to that in a DB2 db. We have one problem. They seem to use different language sets, which result in different priority of the "order by" sequence. What I mean is on db does numbers, then letters, and the other does letters, then numbers. I thought we could use an NLSSORT, but need to know the language set to use to make the Oracle select comparable to the DB2 sort. Any suggestions?
