ALTSEQ is used for changing the collating sequence. The following gives details of the DFSORT ALTSEQ statement:

However, the control statements you show are NOT valid for using ALTSEQ for two reasons:
1) The SORT statement uses CH so you would also need option CHALT in effect (it might be set as an installation default). Otherwise, you would have to use AQ, not CH.
2) CODE=(ISAB) is invalid. The values within CODE must all be valid hex characters (0-F). I and S are NOT valid hex characters.
