That won't be enough for a natural sort, unless you can guarantee that your input will always be letters (possibly) followed by numbers... What if one of your items was "OR10A"? Three letters, but should be before "OR2". What happens if you have something more complicated, with multiple sets of numbers in between letters?

But... If you're absolutely sure that your input will always follow this pattern, then you could take that shortcut by writing a quick function to count the number of letters... Something like this (Sorry if my syntax isn't perfect):

VB
Public Function NumberOfLetters(s as String) as Integer
  For idx As Integer = 0 To s.Length - 1
	If Not Char.IsLetter(s(idx)) Then Return idx - 1
  Next
  Return s.Length
End Function

Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?
