Essence of the answer is you can supply a key=myfunc argument to
sorted(). Then it's up to you what you put in that function. It sounds
like you want to convert any leading digits to an int, and return that int.
Or in your case it might be hex in which case convert the whole string
using int and specify the base to be 16...
>>> int('1A',16)
26
