LIMS container ID's are of format 27-nnnnn which are sorted alphabetically by the transfer file parser because it contains the non-numeric - character. This is confusing when placing plates in the correct order on the robot because it's logical to assume 27-987 goes before 27-1234.
Solution
Implement a special case sort in transfer_lib.js when plate ID's match the LIMS format.
