Natural Sort

Description

Sorts are based on the natural order of the specified keychain.

This is a general sorting macro that can replace some of the other sorting macros (Date Sort, Number Sort) if desired. It will also work on any object type which implements the standard Comparator interface.

Those wishing to use the natural sorting order as defined by the Text Sort macro will still need to use Text Sort, as it is a different type of "natural" sorting. Using this macro is the same as using {text-sort:xxx|mode=exact}.

Previews will not show sorted data

For performance reasons, sorting macros are not executed in Preview mode. This means the macro content could be different when the page is published.
