Incorrect sort of leading zeros within an alphanumeric value

[Mottie]

The result of this array is incorrect:

["a55", "a010", "a102", "a02", "a1", "a255", "a33", "a43", "a87"].sort( naturalSort );
// result : ["a010", "a02", "a1", "a33", "a43", "a55", "a87", "a102", "a255"]

My feeble attempts at fixing this problem caused the failure of a few other unit tests.

LOL ok I think this is a quick & easy solution:

normChunk = function(s, l) {
    // normalize spaces; find floats not starting with '0', string or 0 if not defined (Clint Priest)
    return (naturalSort.ignoreLeadingZeros || !s.match(ore) || l == 1) && parseFloat(s) || s.replace(snre, ' ').replace(sre, '') || 0;
},

This just adds a naturalSort.ignoreLeadingZeros option; then for a unit test just add this:

naturalSort.ignoreLeadingZeros = true;
wrapTest(
  ["a55", "a010", "a102", "a02", "a1", "a255", "a33", "a43", "a87"],
  ["a1", "a02", "a010", "a33", "a43", "a55", "a87", "a102", "a255"],
  "issue - leading zero in alphanumeric");
naturalSort.ignoreLeadingZeros = false;

And btw, this is the same issue as #6... I just realized that it was a duplicate.
