I noticed that the title does not sort correctly on films with numbers in their titles. I have added all of the Star Trek movies and they go from 1 to 12. The 10th, 11th and 12th titles show up after 1, rather than 9....It treats it like a text rather than a number.
Would be a good fix. BTW, it also happens if you use roman numerals |

The grid itself doesn't provide "natural sorting" so it would mean additional coding (http://documentation.devexpress.com/#WindowsForms/CustomDocument692/SORTING_VIA_CODE).
If you want to apply this to roman numerals as well you'd need even more (!) coding. I'm afraid that's not a good idea at this moment of XMM8's life. 
Of course, for arabic numerals you can always add a sufficient amount of zeros to help machine sorting look better. But then your titles may look a bit more ugly. Movie Saga 01. Hmm. |

| Well, in v7 we couldn't even sort length (duration) values without a plugin, so it's a step forward. |

Have a look at Windows itself! Up to Windows ME, I think, the explorer sorted the files "correct" but since XP this doesn't work anymore and 11 is sorted between 1 and 2.
As yan00s already has said: an own algorithm for sorting every kind of enumeration would be too complex.
I haven't tried it yet but wwhat about Movie__1, Movie__2, ... Movie_10? (The underline should be a blank.) Will this blank char be sorted before or after the numerical value? |
In order to achieve what is possible, you have to try the impossible over and over again.

You're right, of course.
But the use of an underscore would undermine the possibility to auto clean the filenames (or at least add extra manual work). |

| I currently use blanks before the numbers, for example...Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan....it still does not sort it as a numeral, but rather an alpa.... |

I would use it this way (a zero is a nice number):
Star Trek 01
Star Trek 02
...
Star Trek 10 |
