When sorting alphanumeric data in a table, everything sorts properly except numbers that end with E. Here's the result I get when sorting these numbers:
| 100E |
|---|
| 121E |
| 4E |
| 4E |
| 60E |
| 1A |
| 1A |
| 2 |
| 2A |
| 3A |
| 3A |
| 3B |
| 3B |

For a numeric sort, Word sees the numbers with E to be in scientific notation ( where E is the exponent following x10). But a text sort still may not be what you want. To get the sort order I suspect you want, put a space, hyphen, or some such between the number and the letter, and then do the number sort.
