This function implements a sort algorithm that orders
|
|
alphanumeric strings in the way a human being would. This is
|
|
described as a "natural ordering". An example of the difference
|
|
between this algorithm and the regular computer string sorting
|
|
algorithms (used in <function>sort</function>) can be seen below:
