int fl_numericsort	(	struct dirent **	A,
		struct dirent **	B )

Compares directory entries alphanumerically (case-sensitive).

1. 1zzz.txt
2. 2xxx.txt
3. 19uuu.txt
4. 100aaa.txt
5. file1z.txt
6. file5a.txt
7. file5z.txt
8. file30z.txt
9. file200a.txt
10. temp+5.txt ('+' is lexically lower than '-')
11. temp-5.txt ('-' is not a sign)
12. temp-100.txt (100 is bigger than 5, no sign)

Parameters

[in]	A	first directory entry
[in]	B	second directory entry

Returns

comparison result (-1, 0, or +1)

Return values

-1	A < B
0	A == B
+1	A > B
