Sort in case-sensitive ascending order
I have a list of text entries in a column that I wish to sort in case-sensitive ascending order, with capital letters before small letters.

For example, I want to sort:

Abcd
ASDF
aaaa

and get:

ASDF
Abcd
aaaa

However, Google Sheets ignores case when sorting in ascending order and gives this result:

aaaa
Abcd
ASDF

 What can I do to achieve my desired result?

Here is the example Google Sheets document. Basically, I want to sort the items in column A in the order as shown in column C. Using the built-in sort function produces the result in column B, which is essentially a case-insensitive sort.
