Answer 1

Try this:

var text = "111,111A,222,411G,300,411Z,G411,AG500,A111,AZ600,ABQ,ZZZ,AAN";
var list = text.Split(',').ToList();
var result = list.OrderBy(i => i, new StringCompare());
foreach (var item in result)
{
    Console.WriteLine(item);
}

StringCompare class:

class StringCompare : IComparer
{
    string[] exps = new[] { @"^\d+$", @"^\d+[a-zA-Z]+$", @"^[a-zA-Z]\d+$", @"^[a-zA-Z]+\d+$" };
    public int Compare(string x, string y)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < exps.Length; i++)
        {
            var isNumberx = Regex.IsMatch(x, exps[i]);
            var isNumbery = Regex.IsMatch(y, exps[i]);

            if (isNumberx && isNumbery)
                return string.Compare(x, y);
            else if (isNumberx)
                return -1;
            else if (isNumbery)
                return 1;
            //return string.Compare(x, y);
        }
        return string.Compare(x, y);
    }
}

You will get:

111
222
300
111A
411G
411Z
A111
G411
AG500
AZ600
