Hi all,
I have a field that I'll be ordering and  I noticed that ordering is done
logically and would confuse my users here (1,12,16,4,8, etc).

I'm writing an application in PHP that connects to Postgres and while I know
that PHP has some powerful natural ordering functions it would be much
easier if I could just use something from postgres directly.  Does there
exist any way to order naturally?

Thanks,
Clark Endrizzi
