A tough one - might get better responses on a mysql forum...

SELECT field+0<>0, field+0, field FROM `table`  ORDER BY field+0<>0 DESC, field+0, field;

Solution

When I needed to do something similar in the past I just stuck in an extra field for sorting. When a record is saved parse the string and left pad all numbers to 6? digits with zeros. save that in the sort field and job done.

Thanks @kpzani; that's what I ended up doing. Not the cleanest, but it gets the job done!
