Repository: kio


Description
-------

KDirSortFilterProxyModel is advertised in the header as performing a "natural sort", ie. "7 8 9 10 11", instead of a lexical "10 11 7 8 9".
However, as far as I can tell this was never true from the start, since the collator responsible for the actual sorting did not have the requisite numeric mode enabled, and this setting has always been off by default as far back as I can find docs for it (Qt 5.2).

(Dolphin, which offers "natural sort", did not run into this issue because it does not actually use KDirSortFilterProxyModel.)

Testing
-------

Create a folder with three images, "File 1.png", "File 10.png", "File 2.png".
View the folder in Gwenview with sort order set to "Name". The sort order is "File 1.png, File 10.png, File 2.png".
Apply patch.
View the folder in Gwenview with sort order set to "Name". The sort order is "File 1.png, File 2.png, File 10.png".


Thanks,

Mathis Beer
