func NumericLess ¶

func NumericLess(a, b string) bool

NumericLess compares strings with respect to values of nonnegative integer groups. For example, 'a9z' is considered less than 'a11z', because 9 < 11. If two numbers with leading zeroes have the same value, the shortest of them is considered less, i.e. 12 < 012. Digits and non-digits are compared lexicographically, i.e. ' ' (space) < 5 < 'a'.
