You need a custom key function for that one:
>>> import re
>>> def gnv(s):
... parts = re.split(r"(\d+)", s)
... parts[1::2] = map(int, parts[1::2])
... return parts
...
>>> items = [("83ILE", 1), ("84ALA", 2), ("8SER", 0), ("9GLY", 0)]
>>> sorted(items, key=lambda pair: (gnv(pair[0]), pair[1]))
[('8SER', 0), ('9GLY', 0), ('83ILE', 1), ('84ALA', 2)]
