Description Matthew Woehlke 2008-04-02 23:18:10 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 
OS:                Linux

The items '721C' and '8QXEV' should be sorted in that order, not sorted with '8' < '721'; basically, "natural" sorting should consider whole "words" (separated by non-alphanumeric characters) instead of behaving like 'sort -n'... especially if there is no way to turn it off (I didn't find one).

So, e.g. '2 - foo', '10 - bar' would still be sorted in that order, but '24A', '4GX' would be sorted with '24A' first.

This would make "Text10" and "Text2" appear in that order...

Anyway, the "natural sort" behaviour can now be switched off.
