How to sort rows in a matrix of strings according to a specific char?

For example, I want to sort this matrix:

A = ['1C3489' ; '2E1919' ; '0A8721' ; '8B1821']

according to the letters (the 2nd char in each row), so the result will be:

A_sorted = ['0A8721'; '8B1821'; '1C3489'; '2E1919']

I didn't understand if the function "sort" knows how to do it.

easily possible,

A = ['1C3489' ; '2E1919' ; '0A8721' ; '8B1821']; sortrows(A,2)

the chars can dirextly be interpreted as numbers, e.g. char(97) is equal to 'a'
