-->I finally figured out how to get my column to sort properly, although the description of the option does not really explain why it works for my data..
Go to Tweaks in Preferences
Recognizing numbers inside text when sorting:
value should be: numeric_collation = True
Although, I did not have numbers in my Notes data, it fixed the sort order, so, this option must affect the general sort algorithm.
