Thank you!

I found something I don't understand, which is forcing me to use the Win32 call method described above. When trying to do a case-insensitive sort by using {uc $_} or {lc $_}, I get different and unexpected results. Here is an example using the same string sets, one upper case, one not.

   use feature qw( say );
   use Sort::Key::Natural qw( natsort );
   say for natsort qw(     P007B_YUMYUMNOISESANDTASTING1 P007_YUMYUMNO
+ISESANDTASTING5A P007_YUMYUMNOISESANDTASTING5B 007_YUMYUMNOISESANDTAS
+TING5C );
   say for natsort qw( P007b_YumYumNoisesAndTasting1 P007_YumYumNoises
+AndTasting5A P007_YumYumNoisesAndTasting5B P007_YumYumNoisesAndTastin
+g5C );

Output:

P007B_YUMYUMNOISESANDTASTING1
P007_YUMYUMNOISESANDTASTING5A
P007_YUMYUMNOISESANDTASTING5B
P007_YUMYUMNOISESANDTASTING5C

P007_YumYumNoisesAndTasting5A
P007_YumYumNoisesAndTasting5B
P007_YumYumNoisesAndTasting5C
P007b_YumYumNoisesAndTasting1

In the first case, the "P007B_" sorts before "P007_". In the second case it sorts after. If I do all lc, it's the same thing, 7b sorts to the beginning instead of the end:

P007b_yumyumnoisesandtasting1
P007_yumyumnoisesandtasting5a
P007_yumyumnoisesandtasting5b
P007_yumyumnoisesandtasting5c

Anyone understand why? I need it to sort after, but be case insensitive...

Thanks!
