Default How to ignore parens in a sort?


I'm trying to figure out how to ignore a parentheses, i.e. (, in an
alphabetical list so the the data is sorted using the first letter
inside the paren. For example; ant, (ape), bear, (bat), etc. is the
correct order but the Excel default sorts the names with parens as
numbers and returns (ape), (bat), ant, bear.
Thanks
