Looks like the sort is removing the spaces before sorting.

cxh

cxlp

Would you mind try:

Select VehicleTrimAbbreviated, VehicleTrimAbbreviatedId
from VehicleTrimAbbreviated
Where vehicleTrimAbbreviated like 'CX%'
order by

split_part(VehicleTrimAbbreviated, ' ', 1) asc,
split_part(VehicleTrimAbbreviated, ' ', 2) asc;
