Hi

It seems inconsistent, org-sort numeric.
If org-sort numeric is applied to each of these one level headlines, the order is different in both (tested with emacs -q):


* Inconsistent org-sort. M-x org-sort numeric
** !Cuatro
** ~Cinco
** Tres
** 1
** 2

* Inconsistent org-sort. M-x org-sort numeric
** Tres
** !Cuatro
** ~Cinco
** 1
** 2

Your example is ambiguous.
How exactly do you expect _numeric_ sort to order non-numbers?

As an implementation detail, org-sort treats all the non-numbers as
0-es. It also does not re-order items with the same sorting key.

I thought it would be similar to alphabetical sort, where numbers are ordered although they are not part of the alphabet.

If it's as intended, ok.
