Add human sorting option

Description

The different sorting functions provide an option to specify the type of sorting to apply, which can currently be either numeric, text, or textnocase.

This option should be extended by a natural value to allow human-like sorting, i.e. sorting numbers in strings by their value.

E.g.:

Code:

<cfset testArray = ["foo100", "foo1", "foo10", "foo2", "foo20"]> <cfset arraySort(testArray, "natural")> <cfdump var="#testArray#">

Output:

Array
1 string foo1
2 string foo2
3 string foo10
4 string foo20
5 string foo100

Edited

this would be really useful, and would simplify at lot of the version sorting in the update provider and admin code

needs to support both humanand humannocase

it should be implemented in java and not as a UDF comparator for better performance
