Those Alpha-Numeric values should (normally) sort properly because of the leading 0's

01
05
100 < wrong, 3 characters. Make all 3 characters to avoid
20
29

all sort correctly because the ASCII weight of a 0 is less than any other digit

Always pad 0's to make all Numeric entries the same length of digits.

In the photo, the DC special should sort AFTER the numbers since the text before this point is the same.
