in native excel, can add multiple sorting columns return ascii code each character, if character number, add large number code (e.g 1000).

then sort on each of helper columns, including first column in table, not in sort.

the formula:

=iferror(code(mid($a1,columns($a:a),1))+and(code(mid($a1,columns($a:a),1))>=48,code(mid($a1,columns($a:a),1))<=57)*1000,"")

the sort dialog:

the results:

you can implement similar algorithm using vba, , sql also. dunno vbs or access.
