Bug Description

Windows 8.1 Pro / Windows Vista Business
OpenLP 2.0.4

We have a number of songs which have alphanumeric values for the 'Number' field (e.g. B23 or 119H - from our former praise supplement, and also the Praise! hymnbook published in the UK in the late 90s).

Currently viewing these songs via Media Manager / Songs / Song Books shows the songs in a random order - e.g.

A17
A5
F22
E5
(Screenshot attached)

If the song begins with a number, it is sorted correctly with the other songs, but not necessarily alphabetically - e.g.

111
112C
112A
112B
113

We would expect the above songs to appear in this order, if possible:

A5
A17
E5
F22

(hopefully the 111-113 example is obvious).

Could the sorting mechanism for song numbers be updated to take alphanumeric song numbers into account, please?
