Smarter Sort

[Bill Denney]

I'm wanting to sort cell arrays of chars in a smart way.  Essentially, I'd 
like to do something like:

A3B10
A3B9
A10
A1
A2

becomes

A1
A2
A3B9
A3B10
A10

so that it will sort the numeric portions intelligently.  Does anyone have 
a routine that will do that or is there a built-in sort that I don't know 
of?

Thanks,

Bill
