Natural Order - Should a Postfix Character Affect Numerical Sort Order? #27

Open

If I run natural order sort on this set {1,1-1,1-2}, I get the expected sorted order of:

1
1-1
1-2

However, if I do it on the set {1a, 1-1a, 1-2a}, then the sorted order becomes:
1-1a
1-2a
1a

To me at least, I think the natural human sort order for these two sets should be the same, with 1/1a first. Am I alone in this?
