Formatting/sorting my DVD list

Can someone please help me figure this one out? I have a standard no frills
listing of my DVD collection. Here's a small example of the way my titles
are listed:

001 Beyond The Fringe
002 Cat People
003 Dead or Alive
004 Easy Rider

As you can see, they are listed in alphabetical order. The example above is
just that. My real list runs to about 1,800 titles.

What I want to know is, is there a way to A-Z sort this list ignoring the
three digits at the beginning of each line? Lets say I type a new title at
the end of the list like this:

001 Beyond The Fringe
002 Cat People
003 Dead or Alive
004 Easy Rider
808 Cool Runnings

So as you can see, ideally Cool Runnings would need to be moved just
underneath Cat People, however doing a standard sort would leave the
positions as they are as the numerical positions of the digits would take
priority.

Is it possible to sort this list whilst ignoring the beginning three digits
on each line?

Thanks for reading,

Mike.
