Thanks Max.

I see your logic but this sorts all digits begining with a '1' first ...
hence 112 comes before 2. In the case of 2, 2A, etc it seems to sort these
randomly within the digits begining with 2s.

One way which might suffice, presuming data as posted is representative

Assuming data in A1 down
Put in B1, copy down:
=IF(A1="","",IF(ISNUMBER(A1),A1,LEFT(A1)+CODE(LEFT (A1))/10^10))
Then select both cols A & B, sort by col B, ascending

Is there a way I can sort numbers such that if I have a letter suffix
(ie; 2A, 3B, etc), they are sorted after the original number, ie; 2A
between 2 and 3 then 3B between 3 and 4?

Thanks.
