Wrong sorting order with grouped numbers

[exostor]

natsort 3.5.2, python 3.2.3

>>> l=["li1-1", "li1-2", "li1-3", "li1-10", "li2-11", "li10-1", "li2-11b", "li2-11a", "li2-1b11", "li2-1b2"]
>>> natsort.natsorted(l)
['li1-10', 'li1-3', 'li1-2', 'li1-1', 'li2-11', 'li2-11a', 'li2-11b', 'li2-1b2', 'li2-1b11', 'li10-1']

But I expected the result:

['li1-1', 'li1-2', 'li1-3', 'li1-10', 'li2-1b2', 'li2-1b11', 'li2-11', 'li2-11a', 'li2-11b', 'li10-1']

Use either versorted(l) or natsorted(l, alg=ns.UNSIGNED). Please see the 3rd example here: https://github.com/SethMMorton/natsort#quick-description.

Aha, I didn't see my case as version numbers, but yes, it works perfecly. Thanks!

@exostor As of natsort version 4.0.0, you don't need to use versorted or ns.UNSIGNED anymore.
