Can Trello add a number-wise sorting option under the “Sort by” feature?

Hi Team

We use Trello extensively for managing tasks and boards. Currently, when we prefix card titles with numbers for sorting (e.g. 1, 2, 3...10), Trello sorts them alphabetically. This causes the sequence to break, such as:

1 10 100 11 12 ... 2 3

This makes it hard to maintain proper order in our workflow.

Feature Request: Please consider adding a Sort by Number or Natural Sorting option that can sort cards numerically based on their title or prefix. It would greatly improve usability and board management.

Thanks in advance.

If you're using a numbering system like that, you can just 0-pad

 

So if you're going up to 999:

 

001

002

003

010

011

012

020

021

022

023

101

102

103
