Default Sorting when some numbers have a text suffix

I have about 1350 5 and 6 digit numbers starting in column B2 that I would
like to be sorted. About 200 of the numbers have "A" at the end along with a
coulpe that have "B", "C", "D", and "E" . All the numbers with a letter are
six digits long if that helps i.e. 123456A. Now when I sort the numbers sort
fine but all the numbers with a letter attached are at the bottom of the
list, presumably as text. How can get the numbers and text"numbers" to sort
together?
