This is one of my personal favorite games. Build up your gem mines to get discounts and points. A nice balance of objectives with a race for points.
The tool Sort lines is useful already. However, I wanted to add a nicer sorting approach. Natural ordering helps when sorting things that are a mix of letters and numbers. With just alphabetic, you could start with this
1
2
3
100
101
and it would sort it to this.
1
100
101
2
3
But that isn't what I usually want. If there are numbers, I want them to be sorted like this.
1
2
3
100
101
Also, if we have a mix of letters and numbers, I would want something that would sort like this.
