Description
Currently, if you have these files in a directory
1
2
3
10
20
then MC will show them this way:
1
10
2
20
3
4
That is correct when comparing/sorting strings according to ASCII, but normally people expect natural sort order.
Please, add a checkbox for Sort Order called "Use natural sort order", which will force MC to take numbers into account.
BTW PHP4/5 has a function for it: http://php.net/manual/en/function.natsort.php - you can probably borrow their algorithm.

This option already exists. It name is "Version".
