Can natural numerica sorting be implemented in the extension column too?
Use case: there are softwares (I speak for PTC Creo - 3D design - but I'm pretty sure there are many others) that implement file versioning by appending a number after the extension. For example, a file saved four times will result on disk as four copies
Code: Select all
name.prt.1
name.prt.2
name.prt.3
name.prt.4
When you have to pick the most recent version you can either rely on the Last modified time or the extension. However sorting by extension won't work properly in case more than 10 versions are saved, because... well you know, Win 98 times, it's "1, 10, 2, ...".
