Hi all,

it would be useful if the $loop in export scripts recognized numbers in strings like this:

- Piano Concerto No. 8
- Piano Concerto No. 9
- Piano Concerto No. 10
- Piano Concerto No. 11

instead of this:

- Piano Concerto No. 10
- Piano Concerto No. 11
- Piano Concerto No. 8
- Piano Concerto No. 9

Anyway, I can't live without this software (I'm reorganizing my sound archives, now). Thanks for it.

The current [Development Build](http://developer.mp3tag.de) now uses intelligent sorting aka natural sorting.

Kind regards,

Confirmed in V2.39e on column sort and Export config $loop(). Another step forward! Thanks again.
