naturalsort 1.0

Simple natural order sorting API for Python that just works

The natsort class in the naturalsort module is a very simple alternative to Python’s sorted() function that implements natural order sorting in Python.

Usage

Here’s an example of regular sorting vs. natural order sorting:

>>> # Import the sorted() alternative.
>>> from natsort import natsort
>>>
>>> # This is plain old sorting (what we don't want).
>>> sorted(['1', '5', '10', '50'])
['1', '10', '5', '50']
>>>
>>> # This is version sorting (what we're after).
>>> natsort(['1', '5', '10', '50'])
['1', '5', '10', '50']
>>>
>>> # This covers a previously fixed bug.
>>> natsort(['1.0', '1.5'])
['1.0', '1.5']
