glibc for this has strverscmp(3) function, but that's strcmp alternative,
not strcoll (i.e. it doesn't take info account current locale).
strverscmp is used e.g. by ls -v.
rpm has another function, rpmvercmp which behaves little bit differently.
Guess you'd want something like a mixture of strcoll and strverscmp for KDE
for "natural" sorting, though I believe various people will have different
ideas of what actually "natural" sorting means.
