Block numbering issue still persists into inventory

Thank you for replying so quickly. I really appreciate Keen's commitment to making this a great game.

This is an issue that has always persisted. It seems like the numbering system reads the number from left to right and orders the blocks based on the first digit and not numerically. If there are only 9 blocks of the same type, this is not an issue. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. However, add a 10th block, and suddenly instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, the system instead will order the blocks 1,10, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. While this is not a huge issue, it is a bit of an annoying one, and a little frustrating that it has been consistently overlooked.

Now this issue can largely be overlooked as most blocks will not be used in a quantity that would cause too much issue... except lights. If my grid has over a hundred interior lights on it, the numbering system would get annoying very quickly:

1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 2, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 3, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, etc...

Now that the inventory shows up alphabetically/numerically, the numbering system will also be implemented in the inventory screen. Again, usually not an issue if I don't have more than 9 of any kind of block, but say I have a dozen or so small cargo containers on a compact grid?

Small Cargo Container, Small Cargo Container 10, Small Cargo Container 11, Small Cargo Container 12, Small Cargo Container 2, Small Cargo Container 3, Small Cargo Container 4, Small Cargo Container 5, Small Cargo Container 6, Small Cargo Container 7, Small Cargo Container 8, Small Cargo Container 9

Even other apps use such ordering system, i bet it has a simple fix but i just cant figure it out.

here is an example from my work TNCremo, which is a profesional grade software.

Heh, that only means that your "professional software" is as bad as Space Engineers at counting. ;)

But seriously, this is not impossible. As a counterexample, take Notepad++. Arguably, it is not "professional software", and yet it still offers sorting of text in a way that treats numbers not just individually as dumb characters with a place each in the ASCII table that just happen to resemble numerals but as sortable numerical entities themselves, and especially so when they come in clumps:

That it is. lets hope this gets fixed.
