strnatcmp
int strnatcmp(stringone, stringtwo)
Compares two strings; returns a number less than 0 if
one is less than
two, 0 if the two strings are equal, and a
number greater than 0 if one is greater
than two. The comparison is
case-sensitive—that is, “Alphabet” and “alphabet” are not considered
equal. The strnatcmp() function
uses a “natural order” algorithm—numbers in the strings are compared
more naturally than computers normally do. For example, the values
“1”, “10”, and “2” are sorted in that order by strcmp(), but strnatcmp() orders them “1”, “2”, and
“10.”
