Default Sorting data by last to digits

I have a worksheet that I need to sort by terminal digits (last 2 digits).

The data is in column A in the format:

'0004135296

Notice the ' at the beginning.

I need to sort this data by the 96 at the end.

Thanks.

Since your data is in text format, start a new column to the right of
your data and enter =RIGHT(A1,2) with A1 being your first entry in
your table. Copy it to the bottom row of your table and sort on the
new column.
