@Roterfux By "natural", assume you mean numeric parts of a name are treated as numbers when sorting? I notice Finder on macOS also sorts using numeric semantics for appropriate values, so I think this is something we can look into more.

I had to google it, since I was not sure how such a sorting is called.
Thanks for considering it @craxal

Let's see if we can do this in 1.32.

• Thoroughly investigate in what ways Windows and macOS support natural sorting. Do they have a way to turn it off? Does it apply to folders and files?
• Try to use existing npm library to implement the sort.
• Go through each explorer (react if it exists) and implement it

Natural sorting for data explorers will be a configuration available in 1.33.0 release.

[Roterfux]

Is there a planned release (RC) window?

[richardMSFT]

1.33.0 is scheduled to release sometime late this month if all goes to plan :)

[Roterfux]

Sounds good :)
