The existing sorting approach when faced with `Dir1`, `dir2`, `Dir3`,
would only get as far as comparing the stems without numbers (`dir` and
`Dir`), and then the lowercase-first tie breaker in that function would
determine that `dir2` should come first, resulting in an undesirable
order of `dir2`, `Dir1`, `Dir3`.
This patch defers tie-breaking until it's determined that there's no
other difference in the strings outside of case to order on, at which
point we tie-break to provide a stable sort.
Natural number sorting is still preserved, and mixing different cases
alphabetically (as opposed to all lowercase alpha, followed by all
uppercase alpha) is preserved.
Closes#41080

I'm having trouble reasoning through what was previously going wrong
with `docs` in the before screenshot, but it also seems to now appear
alphabetically where you'd expect it with this patch
