Default Ignoring punctuation when sorting

Can someone tell me how I would go about ignoring punctuation when

Thanks in advance for your help.

Use a helper column from which you have removed the punctuation. You possibly
need to use nested substitute functions, unless you have more than seven types
of punctuation marks to remove.
