The fastest way is to create a ref table with all possible entries,
ordered with an additionnal numerical column, indexing it and make a
join from your table to this ref table.

Morning...
What is the fastest way to achieve natural ordering from queries?

Might be not much if occasional queries are made..but I use it for
