How to sort rows in SQL that contain both numeric and alphanumeric values in ascending order?

Question

I have the following rows returned from my SQL query- can someone please help with a generic sorting code to sort the values in ascending order?

('High_Speed'),
('M1 Speed'),
('M13 Speed'),
('M14 Speed'),
('M2 Speed'),
('M3 Speed'),
('Medium_Speed'),
('Test1 zone1 High_Speed'),
('Test1 zone11 High_Speed'),
('Test1 zone2 High_Speed'),
('Test1 zone21 High_Speed'),
('Medium_Speed'),
('Zone206 Speed')

expected sorting-

('High_Speed'),
('M1 Speed'),
('M2 Speed'),
('M3 Speed'),
('M13 Speed'),
('M14 Speed'),
('Medium_Speed'),
('Test1 zone1 High_Speed'),
('Test1 zone2 High_Speed'),
('Test1 zone11 High_Speed'),
('Test1 zone21 High_Speed'),
('Medium_Speed'),
('Zone206 Speed')

Answer 1

The most generic method is to use a case expression:

order by (case col
            when 'High_Speed' then 1
            when 'M1 Speed' then 2
            when 'M2 Speed' then 3
            when 'M3 Speed' then 4
            when 'M13 Speed' then 5
            when 'M14 Speed' then 6
            when 'Medium_Speed' then 7
            when 'Test1 zone1 High_Speed' then 8
            when 'Test1 zone2 High_Speed' then 9
            when 'Test1 zone11 High_Speed' then 10
            when 'Test1 zone21 High_Speed' then 11
            when 'Medium_Speed' then 12
            when 'Zone206 Speed' then 13
            else 999
          end)
