The UI is more complicated than it needs to be. In fact we have three mutually exclusive sort modes:
- Non-natural, case-insensitive
- Non-natural, case-sensitive
- Natural

So they should be presented as one radio group, not as a combination of checkbox and radio buttons.

Suggestion for the UI

Sorting mode
() Natural
() Strictly alphabetical, case-insensitive
() Strictly alphabetical, case-sensitive

And since this is very heavy on technical jargon, please put a "What's this?" link next to "Sorting mode" which when hovered over shows a tooltip with a short explanation of the different modes.
