Windows explorer natural order sort order I am kinda ingrained with the Windows sort order in my head. Unfortunately Windows doesn't really allow for an easy way to change it. Is there a way to emulate such sort order using unix tools? An example if each is a file name {"Ie4 01", "Ie4!01", "Ie4_01", "Ie4_128", "Ie5", "Ie6", "Ie401sp2","Ie501sp2"} correct sort order Ie4 01 Ie4!01 Ie4_01 Ie4_128 Ie5 Ie6 Ie401sp2 Ie501sp2

GNU sort's version sort (`-V`) seems to provide that output:


~ printf "%s\
" "Ie5" "Ie6" "Ie4 01" 'Ie4!01' "Ie4_01" "Ie4_128" "Ie401sp2" "Ie501sp2" |
sort -V
Ie4 01
Ie4!01
Ie4_01
Ie4_128
Ie5
Ie6
Ie401sp2
Ie501sp2
