how to sort alphanumerical list with javascript

Question

I'm a beginner on JavaScript and I would ask your help for a problem:

In fact, I want to display equipments name by their number, but before the number I have alphabetical letter, for example:

meh10; meh120; meh20; meh614; switch12; switch130; switch20;...

I don't know how to sort it alphanumerically.

function sort() { $($('ol.toBeSorted>li').get().reverse()).each(function(outer) { var sorting = this; $($('ol.toBeSorted>li').get().reverse()).each(function(inner) { if($('span.Node', this).text().localeCompare($('span.Node', sorting).text()) > 0) { this.parentNode.insertBefore(sorting.parentNode.removeChild(sorting), this); } }); }); } — Benn-x

HTML <ol class="toBeSorted"> {% for node in tree.iter %} {% if node.attrib.for == '0' %} <li> <a href="javascript:visibilite('{{node.attrib.value}}'); return false;"><span class="Node" title = "node" style = 'text-align : center'> {{ node.attrib.value }}</span></a> <div id= {{node.attrib.value}} style="display:none;"> {% endif %} {% endfor %} </li> <script type="text/javascript"> sort('il.toBeSorted>li', 'a'); </script> </ol> — Benn-x
