How to perform natural sorting on a Python list that includes paths?

edit

To perform natural sorting on a Python list that includes paths, you can use the natsort library.

First, install the natsort library using pip:

pip install natsort

Then import the natsorted function from the natsort library and use it to sort the list:

from natsort import natsorted paths = [ "/path/to/folder_1", "/path/to/folder_10", "/path/to/folder_2", "/path/to/folder_20", "/path/to/folder_3" ] sorted_paths = natsorted(paths) print(sorted_paths) 

Output:

['/path/to/folder_1', '/path/to/folder_2', '/path/to/folder_3', '/path/to/folder_10', '/path/to/folder_20']

As you can see, the paths are sorted naturally, which means that folder_10 and folder_20 come after folder_1, folder_2, and folder_3.
