Default How to sort column when cells contain both text & number (Sample X

How to sort column when cells contain both text and number, that is
Sample 1
Sample 2
Sample 3
etc.

When I sort as usual I get the undesired order
Sample 1
Sample 10
Sample 100
Sample 101
etc.

Instead of
Sample 1
Sample 2
Sample 3
etc.

This is problem is probably related to that Excel takes the cell content
only as text.
Thanks in advance.
