More intelligent alphabetical sorting?

I tend to have a lot of games installed at once on a big SSD, and I notice that a lot of games of the same series are appearing out of order. Eg:-
Avadon 2: The Corruption
Avadon 3: The Warborn
Avadon: The Black Fortress
Baldur's Gate II - Enhanced Edition
Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition
Desperados 2: Cooper's Revenge
Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive
System Shock 2
System Shock: Enhanced Edition
etc.
ie, the order is often 2-1 or 2-3-1 because the order rules seems to be "spaces come first, then symbols (colon or hypen) then letters afterwards". But if this were changed to "symbols come first (hyphen & colon) then spaces then letters", then a lot of games in the same series would automatically be correctly ordered. Is this difficult to implement?
