And it avoids having to do any conversions like your solution
does.<
I understand now, thank you for explaining.
But in general I suggest to avoid using a solution like yours,
unlesss this sorting is recognized by profiling as important for
the performance of the program (and unless you add a well tested
validation pass before your sort). Because sorting numbers as
strings is a very good source of bugs. So better waste some time
converting them, and doing things in a tidy way :-) Trust me...
