No, it's not the proper numerical order. Yes, it's the proper sort for a 
sorting algorithm unaware that it's sorting strings with numeric components, 
such as a one examining input on a strictly codepoint-by-codepoint or 
character-by-character basis, but that's not the only way to sort.

I'd suggest filing a bug. I don't know enough about collations to know whether 
or not localization is supposed to cover numeric sorting, but the old behavior 
was clearly better, from a human UI standpoint.
