It pisses me off to no end how common this is.
@CircuitMaker does it when you're making parts and dealing with pins, but also ls does itpic.twitter.com/9XnJ0KAAda
Filenames are strings. That's natural. This is why you pad numerical filenames with zeros (or pipe to sort -n). Javascript knows full well the elements are integers but chooses to treat them as strings.

Oh I get that, I just find it annoying because surely we can detect int and string difference these days and sort them properly. It’s not always possible to pad with 0’s

Though this kind of misses your automatic point; Try ls -lv (-v natural sort of (version) numbers within text) — the fact ls -l is sorted at all is an accident of file system metadata structure (eg; did not use to work like that on ext3 before enabling dir_index)
