Default Sorting Rows and Levels

Can anyone help me with this problem. I am looking to sort warehouse
locations by level and row. The locations are as follows: 210064C. The
breakdown on this is the 21 is the row, the 006 is the column, the 4 is the
level and the letter is the placement of merchandise in that location. Below
I have added sample locations that I would like to set by row and level.
Thanks in Advance, Mac

Muddan, Can not get first formula to work. Seems it will not capture a
letter.

Thanks

Default Sorting Rows and Levels

In 2 helper columns

=LEFT(A2,2) =MID(A2,6,1)

Sort on those.
