+ The results of the search command will be sorted according to David
Koelle's
+ "alphanum" algorithm, which is basically a human-intuitive ordering for
+ strings with letters and numbers. For example, a result returning d1.r,
d10.r and d2.r
+ will be sorted as:
+
+ <literallayout>
+d1.r
+d2.r
+d10.r
+ </literallayout>
+
+ instead of the default ASCII character ordering, which would look like:
+
+ <literallayout>
+d1.r
+d10.r
+d2.r
+ </literallayout>
