I’m having trouble with creating a list and sorting it based on the object properties.  
Here’s a screenshot of my list. (Ignore the “Row 1k”)

The results should be sorted as follows  
Bike 100  
Bike 250  
… and so on  
Bike 10000  
Row 100  
Row 250  
…  
Row 10000  
Run 100  
…  
Run 10000

Yes this very much helped, thank you.  
So basically I needed to make a separate existing list to call from, and then use that list to look up each one.  
Here’s the sorted cloud list I created.

Then I created a for each item j of this list…

Works as desired! Thanks for the help!
