Is field.alpha sorting ascending within each grouped field.numeric?

How would you achieve this.

I have an array that has two sub fields

field.numeric
field.alpha

I want the resulting sort to be field.numeric in descending sequence and
field.alpha in ascending sequence

numeric is a 9/0 numeric value
alpha is a 3 char and the values are all alphabetic like ASA, ASC, BBB
etcetera

Any suggestions

Don
