In the example you have given they already seem to be split, so you
could just do:
sorted(n, key=int) + sorted(s)
If that's not really the case, then you could construct (str, int)
tuples as sort keys:
sorted(n+s, key=lambda x: ('', int(x)) if x.isdigit() else (x, -1))
Note that the empty string sorts before all numbers here, which may or
may not be desirable.
