Sorting of files alpha-numerically

Help & Support

I saw a post here ([url]Numeric Sorting (Was: Sort Bug?)]) about your algorithm. I would like to suggest the following:

  1. sort by number before letter
  2. if numbers are different lengths (because they can be very large), sort by string length.
  3. if a number is encountered in string 1 at index n and a letter is found at string 2 at index n, sort string 1 first.
  4. if a number is encountered in string 1 at index n and a number is found at string 2 at index n, get all digits from string 1 and string 2 at index n and sort them numerically.
