We found a slight bug in your nat_sort.e.
Post something on the forum if you want to know about it.

Ahh yes, in the nat_compare_str() routine, x1num & x2num should be declared as
atoms. Looks like I changed it in my personal version but never fixed it. If
declared as integers than long strings of numbers can cause integer overflow...

Hi there Andy,
Could you also check to see that a long name such as:
"123456789012345678901234567890.jpg"
still works ok when you're done fixing it?
When i want to check something like this with an unusual name
i just create a text file in Win Explorer with whatever name
i want to test with and then see how the program handles it
when it is run.
Take care,
Al
And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!

I only changed one line -- declared as atoms instead of integers. So any long
stream of digits that will successfully convert to an atom should work fine,
meaning your filenames could be dozens of digits long. It had nothing to do with
decimal points because it ignores them anyway.

If you changed x1num, x2num from integers to atoms that would be 2 lines
wouldn't it? The integer line and the atom line.
Anyway thanks for fixing it Andy,
