Perhaps some expansion of the column "pgContentTypeofColumn" property?
The current possible values are:
text|svg-lcname|imagedata|imagefile|color|boolean|autoincrement
Allowing the addition of 'numeric' and 'datetime' would at least allow a
mapping to sorts although sort support 'international' (perhaps should
be the default for a polygrid column of type "text" and "binary". I am
also not sure how svg-iconname, imagedata, imagefile, and color should
sort. Perhaps svg-iconname should sort as "text". Bolean can sort as
"text" since ascending puts "false" first and descending puts "true" first.

So it occurred to me, while playing with sorting by columns, that it

I'd like to be able to say
- if all the 'things' being sorted on are numbers, then sort numeric,
otherwise sort alphabetical.
Would that be a reasonable enhancement request ?
Would "natural" be a reasonable suggested name ?
Alex.
