Cgeo: Natural sort by geocode

[SammysHP]

Detailed steps causing the problem:

• Open list of caches
• Sort by geocode

Actual behavior after performing these steps:

Caches are sorted lexicographically/alphabetically.

GC2345
GC56EFG
GC77

Expected behavior after performing these steps:

Natural sorting, for example:

GC2345
GC1ABCD
GC56EFG

Interesting issue. We would need to calculate the Base 31 code to an integer and sort by this.

[pribeiro42]

Wouldn't be easier if you sort by lenght and then alphabetically?

[pstorch]

Sure, but that is boring ;)

BTW: You get the same result even without the change by just selecting sorting by age (assuming you are not mixing different websites).

Sorting by age may be misleading. People grab a cache GCcode, then take their time to prepare for publication. Have seen 1 yr delay myself.
Cache id (as used in gpx export) is what to look for.
