Default Sorting by numbers w/ words in the same cells

I'm trying to sort a grid that ranks 5 rows from lowest to highest based on
the dollar amount in column D. Columns A-I all have different info in them.
In column D, the values going down a
$6342 yrs 1-6; $4286 yrs 7+
$6346
$6641
$7519
$11426
I want to sort columns B-I (as they are ranked 1 thru 5 in column A) and use
the values in column D as the basis for it. But when I sort, it
automatically puts the cell w/ the extra verbiage in it ("yrs 1-6...") at the
bottom, even though the dollar amount is the lowest.
How can I sort by just the first full number?
Thanks!
