is it always going to be numbers?

#include <Array.au3>
$s_test = "869475231"
$a_test = StringSplit($s_test,"")
_ArrayDelete($a_test,0)
_ArraySort($a_test)
;~ _ArrayDisplay($a_test,"test")
$s_test = ""
for $x = 0 To UBound($a_test) - 1
    $s_test = $s_test & $a_test[$x]
Next
MsgBox(0,"sorted",$s_test)

You might put the string into an array character by character, then sort the array with _ArraySort then put it back into a string.

Edit... like gafrost just sugested

easiest way would probably be:

#include<array.au3>
Dim $blah
$string = "987654321"
$blah = StringSplit($string,"")
_ArraySort($blah,0,1)

$tmp = ""
For $x = 1 to $blah[0]
    $tmp = $tmp & $blah[$x]
Next
MsgBox(0,"Output",$tmp)

should be able to use _ArrayToString() to convert it back, but it never works for me so i just do it with my own loop

***edit** looks like gary beat me to it
