I assume that you want to do this within the database, i.e. with a query.
You would need to use a function, but I don't think a builtin function would
do it.
Try:
CREATE FUNCTION email_order (text) RETURNS text AS '
select substr ($1, strpos ($1, ''@'') + 1) || substr ($1, 1, strpos ($1,
''@'') -1)
' LANGUAGE 'sql';
Then do: 
SELECT ..... FROM ... ORDER BY email_order (fieldname);
I am assuming text datatype; substitute as appropriate.
That's doubled single quotes around the @ symbol, by the way.
