   This is the natural behavior for lexicographic sorting which treats everything as a string. We are unlikely to change this behavior in the near- or mid-term.

   Please update sorting rules to include numerical logic in alphabetical sorting. Right now, when I sort alphabetically, they sort "File 1, File 10, File 11, File 12, File 2, File 3" and so on. It is absolutely madenning.

   When sorting files in box, it appears that although I can sort alphabetically, the coding does not account for alphanumerical naming conventions. For example, if I have File 1, File 2, File 3, and File 10, it will sort as the following: File 1, File 10, File 2, File 3. This is making me BONKERS. Please fix!
