I am coming back on this issue as I am now seing situations where I would need to order that colum properly. I find the Contact Module Numbering mechanism poorly implemented if, as you said, it uses an alphanumeric protocol to sort. The module entity number customization proposes by default an alpha prefix so (in my logic) I expect the records to be ordered properly if I decide to have them ordered by record ID, which obviously is not the case. If this is possible to correct, I would recommend to have this modified in a future release.
The only way at present to do this in a clean way so that the records ID are properly ordered is simply not to put any prefix, or add x amount of 0s in the Start Sequence field prior the initial number.
