$db->exec("CREATE TABLE test (col1 string)");
$db->exec("INSERT INTO test VALUES ('a1')");
$db->exec("INSERT INTO test VALUES ('a10')");
$db->exec("INSERT INTO test VALUES ('a2')");

$db->createCollation('NATURAL_CMP''strnatcmp');

$defaultSort $db->query("SELECT col1 FROM test ORDER BY col1");
$naturalSort $db->query("SELECT col1 FROM test ORDER BY col1 COLLATE NATURAL_CMP");

echo 
"default:\n";
while (
$row $defaultSort->fetchArray()){
    echo 
$row['col1'], "\n";
}

echo 
"\nnatural:\n";
while (
$row $naturalSort->fetchArray()){
    echo 
$row['col1'], "\n";
}

$db->close();

?>

The above example will output:
