It may not be possible to fully sort it. You can sort it for a,b, c,1,2 etc. Not any combination with one query I believe.

 

Another possibility is to put the first sort to a temporary table (eg Sort for character), then take that table for the next set of sort (sort for digit) and so on..

 

Please put this tektips.in . Somebody else will aso answer your question.

 

If you find any direct solution then let me know..
