Default Text & Number Formats

When I open a new blank spreadsheet, the default format is General. I
highlight a field (A) and right click to change format to Text. If I enter
numeric data in the cells, how can I sort them as if they were in the number
format? The reason I ask this is because many numbers have 0 to begin with.
But, sometimes I want to see them in numeric order.
