This answer makes some assumptions about the input data.

1)The string will only, and always, have one non-digit character in the first position.

2)The remaining characters will form a proper int.

List<String> stores = new List<String>();
stores.Add("s27");
stores.Add("s3");
stores.Add("s5");
stores.Add("s1");

var sorted = stores.OrderBy(s => int.Parse(s.Substring(1)));

If checks need to be performed, please give complete specification of input strings format.
