Answer 1

If you remove the header and footer (you can add them back after sorting)

sort -t= -k2 -n file-with-no-header-or-footer.txt

which uses = as the delimiter, key 2 and -n for numeric, produces

hardwareNumber=1                               productNumber 526845
hardwareNumber=2                               productNumber 526845
HardwareNumber=3                               productNumber 526845
hardwareNumber=10                              productNumber 526845
hardwareNumber=12                              productNumber 526845
