    The first case is the most-likely for most people, and the simplest to do. Most directory browsers do support numeric sorting.

    In the second case, I provided a Perl program in another comment in the thread that provides a generic way to do this with one command for nearly all files of this sort.

    The third case, where human-language stuff needs to be parsed, true enough, doesn’t just have a button to push.

      That may be true for terminal applications, but even on Linux most GUI file browsers don’t support that, at least not out of the box.
