Heh, you don't even need / to be readable, any single readable file
will do:

torch% echo /dev/null(e:'reply=($myarray)':oe:'REPLY=${REPLY#*-}':)
aac-A aaa-A aab-B aad-C

Rather hard to embed that in a parameter expansion context without
using a process substitution, though.  And I don't think it covers
the secondary sort: note that in Sebastian's original example he
wants (aaa-A aac-A) but the above output has them the other way
(the sort isn't guaranteed to be stable).
