Incorrect Title Sort
I have a series that is improperly title sorting. 1 is showing above 10, 2 above 20, and so on.
How do I get it to sort the number properly. An example of what I am talking about. |

Calibre (and many file managers) does Alpha sorts (left to right character weights)
If you want 5 to be befor 50, then it is 05, 50 pad single digits with leading 0's There are examples on how to do this on the Save to Device template form |

I have a hard time finding certain Tweaks since they are not in any kind of order (alphabetical). So it may be there. Thanks for a GREAT program Kovid. |

Thanks for that.
I didn't find that tweak, but ID: numeric_collation was what I was looking for. |

I suspect Kovid was typing from memory. I used the Recognize numbers inside text when sorting option and it worked fine for sorting book titles 'correctly'. There's really no difference (to a programmer) between "in string" and "inside text".

I notice there's a comment on this tweak that enabling it may cause issues with titles that begin with numbers. What sort of issues are likely to arise?

Not sure, I think the sorting for them is incorrect, other than that, I cant remember any issues.
