I've used it in a custom version of rockbox I use for myself. I used a library (strnatcmp.c, strnatcmp.h ) found at http://sourcefrog.net/projects/natsort/ I had to tweak it a little to work on rockbox and work the way I wanted it too. In rockbox I replaced strncmp, strncasecmp in the compare function in tree.c.
