Default Sorting 1st, 2nd, 3rd...


I have a list of streets that I want to put in ascending order. Some of
the streets are named 1st, 2nd etc and others are just names. When I do
a sort on the data it correctly puts the named streets in order but
numbered streets appear out of order

for example

10th
11th
1st
20th
21st
2nd
30th
31st
3rd
a
b
c

Is there an easy way to sort so that it recognizes 1st and 2nd... in
the correct order so that it would sort like this:

1st
2nd
3rd
10th
11th
etc.

Any help would be appreciated.
