Sorting not always consistent with the client #445

It seems client will sort mixed values by numeric value (1,2,10,a), web-library and API use will sort values in alphabetical order (1,10,2,a). This leads to inconsistent sorting.

Sorting in web-library follows API so this would need a change in the API, probably as a new optional param.

Hello, I am a new user of Zotero web library, and I noticed that Library of Congress call numbers do not sort correctly in the Call Number column in the web library. For example, when sorted ascending, AC75 incorrectly precedes AC8, and B1034 incorrectly precedes B105. This problem appears to apply only to Zotero web library, not to Zotero standalone. I commented about this in the forum post mentioned above, since it appears to be the same issue although the field that I am reporting (Call Number field) is not the same as the field reported by the original post in the discussion (Rights field).
