Deeper sorting of filenames

[PaPa31]

Hi !
Now your sorting works like this:

The algorithm is good for sorting by the first numbers in the filename.
But the second numbers (if any) are sorted without taking into account the value of the number.

Is it possible to sort filenames deeper?

Thanks!

Something like https://www.npmjs.com/package/natsort would easily do the trick; you'd just need to replace the sorting algorithm with it in https://github.com/acrobit/docusaurus-plugin-auto-sidebars/blob/master/src/generator.ts#L20.

The bigger problem is that this repo seems to be dead, so if @PaPa31 you're interested in maintaining it, please fork it and make these simple changes! 👏

Actually w/ docusaurus 2 beta it looks like the sidebars are already sorted!

@JaneJeon @PaPa31 Sorry for delayed response and thanks for the suggestion.

You can change the following line and use natsort to fix this problem:

docusaurus-plugin-auto-sidebars/src/generator.ts

Line 82 in 45d6723

return files.sort(function(a, b) {

var sorter = natsort();

return files.sort(function(a, b) {
  var oa = getFileOrder(a);
  var ob = getFileOrder(b);
  return sorter(oa, ob);
});

Could you fix it and make a PR please?
