One work-around would be to change the value of the data into text.

If the data is in column A, then in column B add the following formula(s)

in cell b1 =TEXT(A1,0)
in cell b2 =TEXT(A2,0)
....

Sort by column B

I am trying to sort data in a specific manner. My column shows
1
2
3
4
5
310
3A
3B

When sorted I want it to show
1
2
3
310
3A
3B
4
5

How can I get it to sort starting with the left most character and work
to the right and then down?
