Unix sorting multiple conditions

I have a file in which there are numbers like 

6.3.0.00.220
6.3.0.00.220C
6.3.0.00.220EH
6.3.0.00.221
6.3.0.00.221C
6.3.0.00.221EH

and so on

I want them to be groped/sorted as 

6.3.0.00.220EH
6.3.0.00.221EH
6.3.0.00.220C
6.3.0.00.221C
6.3.0.00.220
6.3.0.00.221

Basically EH ones together in ascending then C together in ascending and then the rest in ascending.

I am trying sort -k 1.10,1.14 -nr | sort -k 1.13 -r but not getting the exact output.

Test file:

$ cat test.txt 
6.3.0.00.220
6.3.0.00.220C
6.3.0.00.220EH
6.3.0.00.221
6.3.0.00.221C
6.3.0.00.221EH

Running a command:

$ cat <(grep -E -e "EH$" test.txt | sort) \
      <(grep -E -e "C$" test.txt | sort) \
      <(grep -E -v "(EH)|(C)$" test.txt | sort)
6.3.0.00.220EH
6.3.0.00.221EH
6.3.0.00.220C
6.3.0.00.221C
6.3.0.00.220
6.3.0.00.221
