Natural sorting algorithm

Hello,

We have some xml with a structure like :

<values-group>
   <value>
       <name>M_AB1</name>
       ...
   </value>
   <value>
       <name>M_AB10</name>
       ...
   </value>
   <value>
       <name>M_AB2</name>
       ...
   </value>
   <value>
       <name>M_AB3</name>
       ...
   </value>
   <value>
       <name>M_AB6</name>
       ...
   </value>
   <value>
       <name>M_AB9</name>
       ...
   </value>
...

We want to sort the constants in the processing in natural order (in 
alphabetical order but with the numbers ordered right, M_AB9 comes before 
M_AB10). With the basic sorting, all we can get is alphabetical sorting, but 
the numbers are sorted character by character.

Is there anything we can do ?
