If they are strings then you can use a simple string comparison.

Simple String Comparison will lead to dictionary type sorting. OP would also have to verify the length of string as example ABE AB ACD ABEF If you sort simply comparing string then the output will be look like AB ABE ABEF ACD But If you do sorting(mathematical) Then it would be AB ABE ACD ABEF So, I will suggest to consider the length of the string too

You may use your custom sorting function in ListView_SortItemsEx[^] call.
