Default Sorting 1, 1A, 2, 2A, 3, 4, 4A, 4B . . .

Help!
I am using Excel 2000. I have a spreadsheet with multiple columns and the
column that I want to sort by contains sheet numbers. I know how to sort by
that row, the problem is that when I do, instead of sorting 1, 1A, 2, 2A, 3,
4, 4A, 4B . . . Excel sorts it as: 1, 2, 3, 4, 1A, 2A, 4A, 4B. I have tried
making the numbers all text and all numbers. Neither works. I have also
tried both options that you get when you are sorting (the screen that pops up
with two sorting options). None have worked so far!!! Please help!!!
