Default Sorting in Excel

I have a list of various numbers and text that I want to sort numerically. Here is an example:
T300
D9745
P50
565
007
0245
052

Problems: 1.Getting leading zeros to show AND be recognized.
2. Sorting--when I try to sort, it will sort like 7,52, 245, 565, P50, T300, D9745. I want it to sort numerically first (007,0245,052,565) then alphabetically (D9745,P50, T300).
I'm assuming this is impossible, but any tips would be appreciated.
