Your Minimal, Reproducible Example - (Sandbox Highly Recommended)

propriatary code sorry

Screenshots or Videos (Optional)

column def
{
id: stationCode,
accessorFn: (row) => ${row.x}::${row.y}
sortingFn: 'alphanumeric',
}

default sorting def
defaultSorting={[{ id: 'stationCode', desc: false }]}

Do you intend to try to help solve this bug with your own PR?

Maybe, I'll investigate and start debugging

how i solved : sortingFn: (rowA, rowB, columnId) => {
console.log('rowA', rowA.getValue('stationCode'))
return rowA
.getValue('stationCode')
.localeCompare(rowB.getValue('stationCode'), 'en', { numeric: true })
},
