You can use

db.collectionName.find().sort({title: 1}).collation({locale: "en_US", numericOrdering: true})

numericOrdering flag is boolean and is Optional. Flag that determines whether to compare numeric strings as numbers or as strings. If true, compare as numbers; i.e. "10" is greater than "2". If false, compare as strings; i.e. "10" is less than "2". Default is false.
