advanced sorting of cell array of strings

I have the following array that I sorted in descending order (natural sort using sortn.m)
files = [
'a_20_15rpm_05.txt'
'a_20_14rpm_05.txt'
'a_20_12rpm_50.txt'
'a_20_12rpm_10.txt'
'a_20_12rpm_05.txt'
'a_20_5rpm_05.txt'
'a_20_4rpm_50.txt'
'a_20_4rpm_05.txt'
'a_20_2rpm_05.txt']
Here is what I need: the elements with equal rpms (index 3, 4 and 5 as well as 7 and 8) need to be sorted in ascending order. The final array should have the following form
files = [
'a_20_15rpm_05.txt'
'a_20_14rpm_05.txt'
'a_20_12rpm_05.txt'
'a_20_12rpm_10.txt'
'a_20_12rpm_50.txt'
'a_20_5rpm_05.txt'
'a_20_4rpm_05.txt'
'a_20_4rpm_50.txt'
'a_20_2rpm_05.txt']
I'd really appreciate some help on this. Thanks a lot for your answers in advance.

Your sample input:
files = {
'a_20_15rpm_05.txt'
'a_20_14rpm_05.txt'
'a_20_12rpm_50.txt'
'a_20_12rpm_10.txt'
'a_20_12rpm_05.txt'
'a_20_5rpm_05.txt'
'a_20_4rpm_50.txt'
'a_20_4rpm_05.txt'
'a_20_2rpm_05.txt'}
% Match the second and third group of digits (it would be nice to see more elegant ways to do that)
out = regexp(files, '(a_20_|rpm_|.txt)','split');
% Convert numeric strings to numbers and "unpack"
out = cell2mat(cellfun(@(x) str2double(x(:,2:3)),out,'un',0));
% Sort
[trash,idx] = sortrows(out,[-1,2]);
files(idx)
k = regexp(files,'((?<=a_20_)\d*)|((?<=rpm_)\d*)','match');
[ii,ii] = sortrows(str2double(cat(1,k{:})),[-1 2]);
files(ii)

This Works for me. THANK YOU Andrei.
k= regexp(allNames,'((?<=out_)\d*)|((?<=_TRUE1_))','match'); % d* is for the varying variable, for example, 1 2 3 4 5 ...so on
[~,ii]= sortrows(str2double(cat(1,k{:}))); % [-1 2] is for ascending descending try with and without this
allNames= allNames(ii);
