sorting problem in a digikam album

[Maik Qualmann]

I can't see some file names because they are shortened. If they contain a 
version number (_vxx) then we intervene in the sorting because these should 
come after the original image. However, sometimes the sorting is incorrect, 
and I want to fix that.
