Thanks for reporting. Going with natural sort in general I think it's a good idea and would help the users to read easily the output. My only concern is about the behavior itself as the sorting wouldn't be consistent with other commands (such ash 'orch ls', etc).

I mean if we use natural sorting, shouldn't we use it everywhere for consistency and not only for the 'orch ps' command?

indeed orch ps is special, as it typically lists all the 100's of osds, which is not the case for orch ls. But you're right for host ls and device ls, as users might have more than 11 numerically and sequentially named hosts.

Ok, great. We had a discussion in upstream and we think that it makes more sense to implement the behavior per command since only a subset of commands would benefit from using a natural sorting algorithm. We will start by implementing it for "orch ps" and then extend the support to other commands with similar needs.
