The first case is the most-likely for most people, and the simplest to do. Most directory browsers do support numeric sorting.

In the second case, I provided a Perl program in another comment in the thread that provides a generic way to do this with one command for nearly all files of this sort.

The third case, where human-language stuff needs to be parsed, true enough, doesn't just have a button to push.

That may be true for terminal applications, but even on Linux most GUI file browsers don't support that, at least not out of the box.

It looks like all of the Windows File Explorer, MacOS Finder, GNOME Files (nee Nautilus), and KDE Dolphin can. I suspect that that covers the overwhelming majority of users.
