In mongo is not possible (sort strings in ascii) but you can sort with the below function after you get all documents from the collection

const sortString = (a, b) => {
  const AA = a.title.split('-');
  const BB = b.title.split('-');

  if (parseInt(AA[1], 10) === parseInt(BB[1], 10)) {
    return 0;
  }
  return (parseInt(AA[1], 10) < parseInt(BB[1], 10)) ? -1 : 1;
};

document.sort(sortString);
