SortBy[{v1, v2, v3, v10, v4},
ToExpression[StringDrop[ToString[#], 1]] &]

Is there a way of sorting a list of symbols like {v1, v2, v3, v10, v4} such that
it gives {v1, v2, v3, v4, v10} and not the Mathematica default of {v1,v10, v2,v3, v4}? I
am trying to avoid using the obvious solution of {v01, v02, v03, v04, v10}!
