/* The Alphanum Algorithm is an improved sorting algorithm for strings containing numbers. Instead of sorting numbers in ASCII order like a standard sort, this algorithm sorts numbers in numeric order. The Alphanum Algorithm is discussed at http://www.DaveKoelle.com This implementation is Copyright (c) 2008 Dirk Jagdmann . It is a cleanroom implementation of the algorithm and not derived by other's works. In contrast to the versions written by Dave Koelle this source code is distributed with the libpng/zlib license.
