• Bug#783457: libsort-naturally-perl: Doesn't sort properly with numbers

    From Vincent Lefevre@21:1/5 to All on Wed May 28 00:10:01 2025
    The issue actually does not just occur as the beginning of a string.
    What matters is where the first group of non-word characters occurs;
    this is an additional bug, because there's no reason to apply a rule
    on the first group of non-word characters but not the other ones.
    As I've said in the upstream bug, the author forgot the g flag.
    But anyway, the removal of the non-word characters is done too
    early, in particular, before numbers are recognized.

    I've done two suggestions in the upstream bug https://github.com/bingos/sort-naturally/issues/3 to fix this bug.

    Note that https://github.com/bingos/sort-naturally/issues/1 seems
    to actually be the same bug.
