Default Sorting a column from the last letter or 2 letters of a part n

Thank you for your help. Great idea!

Try extracting the last letter or letters to another column, e.g. if your
data is in column A then use this formula in B1 to extract last two letters
and copy down

=RIGHT(A1,2)

then sort both columns based on column B

Anyone have any ideas on how to sort a column from the last letter or two
letters of a part number rather than the first. Sounds crazy, but it would
save me hours of work monthly if I could figure this one out.

Thank you.
