Default How do I sort a column using the last number in the cell?

Hi,

use a helper column to extract the last number

=RIGHT(A1,1)

Select both columns and sort on the helper column which you can hide.

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.
