Default alphanumeric sorting

Hello there,
I have this little prob in Excel:

Alphanumeric Sorting is done from left to right, as default, in Excel:

"Alphanumeric sort When you sort alphanumeric text, Excel sorts left to
right, character by character. For example, if a cell contains the text
"A100," Excel places the cell after a cell that contains the entry "A1" and
before a cell that contains the entry "A11."

I want to change that. Is there a way to treat the "A" as irrelevant and so
that A11 actually comes between A1 And A100?

Thx a bunch in advance,
DK.

PS: i've read the previous responses, but i thought it was too specific. I
want to know if i'm missing sthing obvious here. Is there a simple command to
switch the alphanumeric sorting?
