Default sorting numbers in a column


Problem: The numbers I am sorting are composed of various numbers of
integers, some having four digits, others five or six, and so on. I
would like to have them sort by number regardless of number of digits.
Will Excel let me do this?
example: presently it looks like this:
3004
12001656
530393505
2200498378

and I really want it to sort like this:
12001656
2200498378
3004
530393505

Can this be done?
