Hallo @annej64116338 ,
ist der Name des Logos in einer der Tabellenzeilen eingetragen?
Arbeitest Du mit einer echten InDesign.-Tabelle? Oder mit Absätzen und Tabulatoren?
Falls mit Absätzen und Tabulatoren, und unter der Voraussetzung, dass der Name am Anfang eines Absatzes steht, dann kann ein Script, das mit InDesign mitgeliefert wird, die Sortierung übernehmen.
Scripts panel > Application > Samples > JavaScript > SortParagraphs.jsx
Before starting the script select the paragraphs you want to sort.
Use Sort method "Retain Formatting (slower)" when working with the script.
See screenshots from my German InDesign:

Well.
Just tested Peter Kahrel's tablesort.jsx script on an InDesign table with InDesign 2024.
It did not work as expected:
Seems that graphic cells will throw an error if one sorts with option "Formatted text".
FWIW: It will crash InDesign if "Formatted text" is not enabled and graphic cells are present.
However, when working with anchored graphic frames in text cells instead of graphic cells, the table can be sorted by the script as expected. See screenshots below.
Table selected. Table has one header row and four not sorted body rows. Column four contains text cells with one anchored graphic frame in every cell. An anchored graphic frame could contain a logo graphic. Script is started and shows a GUI with a variety of options. The most important one is "Formatted text" that I enabled:
After pressing OK the sorted result is that:

Do you work on a Mac - or do you have access to a PC?
I have ideal tool for you - not free but extremely powerful - but it's PC only...
Before:
After - each graphic is placed in a separate Paragraph - 4x column TextFrame:
Or as characters - with double space as a separator:
You can filter by any property you want - to include / exclude objects.
Objects can be anywhere in the document - one a page, pasteboard, anchored in the text, in a cell, part of the group, whatever - and be whatever type - rectangles, ovals, TextFrames, Groups, PDFs, Images, whatever.
You can sort whichever way you want - by name, type, source folder, size kB/width/height/scale, color profile, etc. - use multiple sorting keys - and do whatever you want with the objects before they are placed - copy or cut, resize, rotate, crop, apply ObjectStyle, etc.
