How do you know the OP wants a sorting approach with numbers only? and more than that, you didn't even explain your answer. – Ele Aug 25 '20 at 14:08
Who is OP? Why explain when you can google the [localeCompare](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/localeCompare) and find out what's going on here? – Tigran Abrahamyan Aug 25 '20 at 14:15

var content=[
{name:'ABC125', sName: 'sadf'},
{name:'ABC12', sName: 'sadf'},
{name:'ABC15', sName: 'sadf'},
{name:'Sbc125', sName: 'sadf'},
{name:'pcb125', sName: 'sadf'}
];


content.sort(function (a, b) {
    return ('' + a.attr).localeCompare(b.attr);
})



console.log(content)

output will be

(5) [{…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}]
0: {name: "ABC125", sName: "sadf"}
1: {name: "ABC12", sName: "sadf"}
2: {name: "ABC15", sName: "sadf"}
3: {name: "Sbc125", sName: "sadf"}
4: {name: "pcb125", sName: "sadf"}
