Angular Object Array Sorting

Trying to sort the array of object, the property of the object contains alphanumeric values, Tried methods which didn't worked

test.sort((a,b)=> a.Code.localeCompare(b.Code)); test.sort((a,b)=> +a.Code- +b.Code);

let test = [{Code: '16', Color: "Red"},
      {Code: '54', Color: "Yellow"},
      {Code: '24', Color: "Yellow"},
      {Code: '1600', Color: "Blue"},
      {Code: '16a', Color: "Green"},
      {Code: '22', Color: "Yellow"},
      {Code: '23', Color: "Yellow"}];

 test.sort((a,b) =>  a.Code.localeCompare(b.Code));
 console.log(test);

getting output as

[{"Code": "16", "Color": "Red" },
{"Code": "1600","Color": "Blue"},
{"Code": "16a","Color": "Green"},
{"Code": "22","Color": "Yellow"},
{"Code": "23","Color": "Yellow"},
{"Code": "24","Color": "Yellow"},
{"Code": "54","Color": "Yellow"}]

How I can get the Expected output as

[{"Code": "16", "Color": "Red" },    
{"Code": "22","Color": "Yellow"},
{"Code": "23","Color": "Yellow"},
{"Code": "24","Color": "Yellow"},
{"Code": "54","Color": "Yellow"},
{"Code": "1600","Color": "Blue"},
{"Code": "16a","Color": "Green"}]

Thanks Nina a slight modification done to the solution as typescript was restricting typecasting

let test = [{ Code: '16', Color: "Red" }, { Code: '54', Color: "Yellow" }, { Code: '24', Color: "Yellow" }, { Code: '1600', Color: "Blue" }, { Code: '16a', Color: "Green" }, { Code: '22', Color: "Yellow" }, { Code: '23', Color: "Yellow" }];

test.sort(({ Code: a }, { Code: b }) =>
    +isFinite(+b) - +isFinite(+a) ||
    +a - +b ||
    a.localeCompare(b)
); 

console.log(test);

Try something as follows;

test.sort(a,b) => a.Code.localeCompare(b.Code, 'en', { numeric: true });

There is other possible solution if the above does not work as you expect.

You could check for numbers and move number to top and sort by numbers or by string.

let test = [{ Code: '16', Color: "Red" }, { Code: '54', Color: "Yellow" }, { Code: '24', Color: "Yellow" }, { Code: '1600', Color: "Blue" }, { Code: '16a', Color: "Green" }, { Code: '22', Color: "Yellow" }, { Code: '23', Color: "Yellow" }];

test.sort(({ Code: a }, { Code: b }) =>
    isFinite(b) - isFinite(a) ||
    a - b ||
    a.localeCompare(b)
);
console.log(test);
.as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; top: 0; }
