Alphanumeric Sorting

Alphanumeric sorting arranges items that contain both letters and numbers in a logical order. Instead of sorting solely alphabetically or numerically, it considers the sequence of characters, so "Item2" comes before "Item10" because the number 2 is less than 10. This method ensures a more intuitive and human-friendly organization, especially for lists like filenames or product codes. It’s commonly used in computer systems, spreadsheets, and file directories to make browsing and locating items more efficient and predictably ordered.
