Numerical sorting

In the "n items" view, there is currently no alternative to alphabetical sorting. If you could provide more context about the list that is being sorted, I might be able to suggest a way of doing what you want.

It's actually for a long series of Audiobooks/Audio dramas.

I have them named (Album title)
1: title 1
2: title 2
...
10: title 10
11: title 11
...
19: title 19
20: title 20
21: title 21
...
99: title 99
100: title 100
101: title 101
etc...

On the control point (both SongBook and Linn Kinsky) I get them ordered
100, 101, 10, 11, 12, 13 .. 19, 1, 20, 21, 22, 23 .. 29, 2
The logical order would be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. but I understand that its just using basic ASCII sorting (if thats the correct term) looking at first character, second character, etc.

I'm just curious if this is something that will likely change in the future; if not then no real problem it's easy enough to get mp3tag to pad to titles - hey even some operating systems sort this way in their file managers. Or is this down to Kinsky and SongBook and nothing to do with Minimserver?

It also shows in this "wrong" order where I have a multi-disc audio book (over 10 discs) in SongBook where the Album title is appended with [Disc n].
