                 Key: JSPWIKI-526
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-526
             Project: JSPWiki
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Localization
            Reporter: Greg Kable
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.8.3, 3.0


I personally hate the order of pages returned by the standard sorting routines and would rather an order that understood numeric ordering.  That is, instead of having the list:

WikiPage1
WikiPage10
WikiPage2

I'd like to get the list:

WikiPage1
WikiPage2
WikiPage10

There are also many other case, especially for localisation, where being able to set the page name order would be useful.

To achieve this, I propose adding a JSPWiki property which specifies the Comparator to be used for page names.  Before I do the work and submit a patch, I'd like to know:

- Would this be a welcome feature?
- Is jswpwiki.pageNameComparator an appropriate property name?  If not, what do you suggest?
