Hello,



I sell comic books so the product name sorting works partially. It dos not seem to see beyond the first digit in a issue number. Anybody know of a solution. A mod possibly. Thanks!!



Example:



Amazing Spiderman #1

Amazing Spiderman #11

Amazing Spiderman #12

Amazing Spiderman #2

Amazing Spiderman #24

Amazing Spiderman #3

I think you should use 3 or 4 digits numbers e.g. 0001, 0002, 0012, 0128, etc.

This should be as simple as replacing```php sort() ```with```php natsort() ```in the search code. I’ve taken a look but haven’t found the location of that yet.

Thanks much! I suspected there would be a simple fix. Now I have to find the proper code to replace. Anybody out there have an idea?
