Default Excel alphanumberic sort

Although this is similar to previous posts, it is different enough that
earlier solutions did not resolve my problem.

I am sorting a list of part numbers. They are in a three-part format --
prefix, base, suffix. The base is always numeric. The prefix and suffix are
alphabetic. A number may be comprised of one, two, or all three of the
sections. I want the numbers sorted by base first, then by prefix and then
by suffix. See a portion of my list below:

100MS
1577
200322
200861
200886S
202CCAG
40MPB
40MS
40MST
8984YY
90MS
AEL0801H
CDS211TTRW
DC216TTRB
DS206GG
P90R
PAWT214RA
PNR112R
WPS207GRC
WPSH115RRC

I want the 40xx numbers to come before 100MS and before 1157. Can this be
done in Excel 2003?

Thanks for any help you can give me.
