Yay. Mostly.
Try this,
Arthur C Clarke
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
2010: Odyssey Two (1982)
2061: Odyssey Three (1987)
3001: The Final Odyssey (1997)
would be handled/converted to something like:
Two Thousand One
Two Thousand Ten
Two Thousand Sixty One
Three Thousand One
Which would give a sorted sequence of:
3001
2001
2010
2061
(three is less than two) unless I've got it wrong.
I do think an option to do straight alphanumeric sorts would be good.
I have to say that I would probably only ever use an alpha sort, I cannot think of a reason to do otherwise especially looking at my booklist. But I would test whatever you write.
