Follow up/bug:
mixedsort() gets confused when there are periods in the string(s);
> print(gtools::mixedsort("a"))
[1] "a"

[1] "a." NA
> print(gtools::mixedsort("a.b"))
[1] "a.b" NA NA
> print(gtools::mixedsort("a.b."))
[1] "a.b." NA NA NA

[1] "a.b.c" NA NA NA NA
> print(gtools::mixedsort("a.b.c."))
[1] "a.b.c." NA NA NA NA NA
Is the '.' trigger an incorrect interpretation of a number?
