    I had some good results with

    SELECT alphanumeric, integer FROM sorting_test ORDER BY CAST(alphanumeric AS UNSIGNED), alphanumeric ASC

    I hate this, but this will work

    order by lpad(name, 10, 0)  <-- assuming maximum string length is 10
                                <-- you can adjust to a bigger length if you want to

    Try this For ORDER BY DESC

    SELECT * FROM testdata ORDER BY LENGHT(name) DESC, name DESC

    People use different tricks to do this. I Googled and find out some results each follow different tricks. Have a look at them:

    • Alpha Numeric Sorting in MySQL
    • Natural Sorting in MySQL
    • Sorting of numeric values mixed with alphanumeric values
    • mySQL natural sort
    • Natural Sort in MySQL

    Edit:

    I have just added the code of each link for future visitors.

    Alpha Numeric Sorting in MySQL

    Given input

    1A 1a 10A 9B 21C 1C 1D

    Expected output

    1A 1C 1D 1a 9B 10A 21C

    Query

    Bin Way
    ===================================
    SELECT 
    tbl_column, 
    BIN(tbl_column) AS binray_not_needed_column
    FROM db_table
    ORDER BY binray_not_needed_column ASC , tbl_column ASC
    
    -----------------------
    
    Cast Way
    ===================================
    SELECT 
    tbl_column, 
    CAST(tbl_column as SIGNED) AS casted_column
    FROM db_table
    ORDER BY casted_column ASC , tbl_column ASC
    

    Natural Sorting in MySQL

    Given input

    Table: sorting_test
     -------------------------- -------------
    | alphanumeric VARCHAR(75) | integer INT |
     -------------------------- -------------
    | test1                    | 1           |
    | test12                   | 2           |
    | test13                   | 3           |
    | test2                    | 4           |
    | test3                    | 5           |
     -------------------------- -------------
    

    Expected Output

     -------------------------- -------------
    | alphanumeric VARCHAR(75) | integer INT |
     -------------------------- -------------
    | test1                    | 1           |
    | test2                    | 4           |
    | test3                    | 5           |
    | test12                   | 2           |
    | test13                   | 3           |
     -------------------------- -------------
    

    Query

    SELECT alphanumeric, integer
           FROM sorting_test
           ORDER BY LENGTH(alphanumeric), alphanumeric  
    

    Sorting of numeric values mixed with alphanumeric values

    Given input

    2a, 12, 5b, 5a, 10, 11, 1, 4b
    

    Expected Output

    1, 2a, 4b, 5a, 5b, 10, 11, 12
    

    Query

    SELECT version
    FROM version_sorting
    ORDER BY CAST(version AS UNSIGNED), version;
    

    Hope this helps

    Just do this:

    SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY column `name`+0 ASC
    

    Appending the +0 will mean that:

    0, 10, 11, 2, 3, 4

    becomes :

    0, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11

    I know this post is closed but I think my way could help some people. So there it is :

    My dataset is very similar but is a bit more complex. It has numbers, alphanumeric data :

    1
    2
    Chair 
    3
    0
    4
    5
    -
    Table
    10
    13
    19
    Windows
    99
    102
    Dog
    

    I would like to have the '-' symbol at first, then the numbers, then the text.

    So I go like this :

    SELECT name, (name = '-') boolDash, (name = '0') boolZero, (name+0 > 0) boolNum 
    FROM table 
    ORDER BY boolDash DESC, boolZero DESC, boolNum DESC, (name+0), name
    

    The result should be something :

    -
    0    
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    10
    13
    99
    102
    Chair
    Dog
    Table
    Windows
    

    The whole idea is doing some simple check into the SELECT and sorting with the result.
