BR asked the question. Unless they are special (custom), the only ones that make sense would be ISBN, and that is limited.
ISBN has a pattern (length is 10)
First section is Language. The majors are single digit,
Next is publisher. that can be 1-7 digits A 'vanity press might get a 7 digit one.
The next to last is the Book (in assigned sequence) number
And the last is a calculated Mod10 checksum 0-X

So sorting by ISBN would mostly by group Language, then Publisher

I have no clue if ASIN type have any significant (other than Warehousing) Logic included
