Default Custom Sort Order - Wildcard?

Hello,
I'd like to sort a sheet based on an ID column, but have the order
customized. The first part of the ID would be customized, the last part (
after the period) would follow normal sort order.
Customer Order for first part of field:
MB
CL
RX
PV
CU

Each one of them has a period and ascending numbers after them. The list,
after it went through the customized sort would look something like this:
MB.01
MB.02
CL.01
CL.02
CL.03
RX.01
PV.01
CU.01
CU.99
I set up a customized list (Tools/Options/Custom Lists), but there doesn't
seem to be a wild-card feature. I used MB?, MB*, etc, but they don't seem to
work.
Is there a wild-card feature to Customized lists? Or is there another way
to do this? Ultimately, I would call this from Selection.Sort in a Macro.
Many Thanks for your help.
