Natural sort order is a pretty common requirement - Windows Explorer and the Mac Finder are both examples of natural sort in action. It's true there are lots of edge cases, but just handling letters and digits in a human-reabable way is enough in many cases.
It seems the solution is to add a non-editable sort field to the model that is a transformed version of the field you wish to sort by, and use order_by on the sort field.
