This module sounded perfect for what I was trying to do -- create an alphabetical index by title of a bunch of reviews. However, when I install it under Drupal 7.38 and with Views 7.x-3.11, it doesn't work.

Specifically:
1. I don't see any option to enable natural sort on the title field.
2. The index DOES appear to be built correctly, since I see it processing all the node titles.
3. The options to sort ascending / descending naturally do NOT appear in the view sort options.

I will get and attach screenshots shortly.

Screenshots attached:

  • field-settings.png shows a new text field created for testing. The "enable natural sort" option is missing. The title field itself has no such UI to set it, either.
  • views-sort.png shows the sorting popup from the Views 3 module. The options of sort naturally are not there.

Using 1.4 you will not see those options. It will be a field you can sort by. To have the natural sort options (where you add the title field and not a special field added by vns) use 2.0

This works as designed. Attached is a screenshot of the field you should be sorting by with 1.4.

Only local images are allowed.

You will see documentation to support this here: http://generalredneck.com/blog/how-use-views-natural-sort

Thanks for the clarification! Works for me now.
