Ruby’s Array#sort will, by default, sort numbers like this, in order of their value:

[11, 12, 13, 112, 113, 124, 125, 127]

I’d like to sort an array of numbers like this, as though they were words being alphabetized:

[11, 112, 113, 12, 124, 125, 127, 13]

How can I do this? (Ultimately, I want to do this with Hash keys, so if you want to answer that way instead, that’s fine.) Also, is there a name for this type of sort?
