Natural sorting, also known as natural order, is about putting the string "Chapter 10" after the string "Chapter 2".
Or about putting "I like it with 3.5 spoons of sugar" after "she'll have 2 spoons".
We humans prefer it this way.
There's now a little module to do this in Views. It's functional, but I wrote it solely for fun. What may be of interest to developers is the README.txt, which contains some discussion. The source code is heavily documented as well.
