A GRT sort that casts non-compliant files to the top of the sorted list.
johngg@shiraz:~/perl/Monks$ perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -E '
say for
map { substr $_, 54 }
sort
map { pack q{a50Na50}, ( m{^([A-Za-z]+)(\d+)\.html$} ? ( $1, $2 ) :
+ ( q{}, 0 ) ), $_ }
qw{ page1.html index2.html page11.html rubbish.html page3.html inde
+x1.html page2.html }'
rubbish.html
index1.html
index2.html
page1.html
page2.html
page3.html
page11.html
I hope this is of interest.
Update: A scripted version that constructs a sorted array and a rejects array. This code
use strict;
use warnings;
use feature qw{ say };
my @unsorted = qw{
page1.html
test4.txt
index2.html
page11.html
rubbish.html
page3.html
index1.html
page2.html
garble.html
page0.html
};
my @sorted;
my @rejects;
push @{ ( m{^\xff{54}} ) ? \ @rejects : \ @sorted }, substr $_, 54 for
sort
map {
pack q{a50Na50},
( m{^([A-Za-z]+)(\d+)\.html$}
? ( $1, $2 )
: ( qq{\xff} x 50, -1 )
),
$_
}
@unsorted;
say q{-} x 20;
say for @sorted;
say q{-} x 20;
say for @rejects;
say q{-} x 20;
outputs
--------------------
index1.html
index2.html
page0.html
page1.html
page2.html
page3.html
page11.html
--------------------
garble.html
rubbish.html
test4.txt
--------------------
Update 2: Added {54} quantifier to regex in above code, output unchanged.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
