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. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Pascaline project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
