CompareNatural does not compare strings lexically.

[harrysarson]

CompareNatural uses javascript-natural-sort to compare strings.

Strings are not compared lexically as the docs say they should be.

For example:

> math.compareNatural('5', '10')
-1
> '5' < '10'
false

and

> math.compareNatural('10/11/2009', '10/12/2008')
1
> '10/11/2009' < '10/12/2008'
true

Is this a bug or should we change the docs to say something like strings are compared in a sensible way?

(Note that the javascript operator < does lexical comparison on strings)

Thanks, it's indeed an error in the documentation. I've updated the docs, see a389d34.
