public class NaturalSortComparator extends Object implements Comparator<CharSequence>
NaturalSortComparator
is a fast comparator for sorting a
collection of Strings in a human readable fashion.
This implementation considers sequences of digits to be positive integer values, '.' does not indicate a decimal value nor '-' a negative one. As a result, 12345.12345 will sort higher than 12345.5432 and -12346 will sort higher than 12345.
it does work well for sorting software versions e.g. camel-2.2.0 sorting higher than camel-2.1.0
