This "natural sort order" is actually breaking a second standard (ASCII), as well as breaking the leading zero standard. Maybe you think 2 wrongs make a right, I don't. I didn't really want to start a flame session or anything (so I shouldn't have made the AOL comment, so sorry for any offence I caused), but I feel strongly that standards are usually there for a reason - i.e. because a lot of people think something is a good idea. So anything that breaks a standard should have a very good reason to do so, and I don't consider this to be one.
