Updating this to provide the short answer, after email exchange:
Set user option icicle-file-sort to the sort order you want, e.g., icicle-case-string-less-p.

What I'm actually trying to do is ... calling read-number from a separate function (my-command) with a buffer-local variable as HIST.
As read-number doesn't have its own history list, you could let-bind minibuffer-history to your buffer-local history list around your call to read-number.
(defvar-local local-history nil

(interactive)
(add-to-history 'my-hist (my-function 'my-hist)))
