I have a stack of client folders with names like this:

eastcoal 008
mee 022
orr 047
owaka 032
owen 025
powernet006
redpath 031

Normally this works, but sometimes I'd like to sort by the number. So how can I sort folders by the last characters in the folder string? Characters will always be three consecutive numbers, and will run from 001 to 999 (until I've done a thousand jobs, which will take years).
