if I make a poll of numbers:

- 1
- 2
- 3
- 10
- 11

and somebody rate on this poll, then the arrangement changes as this:

- 1
- 10
- 11
- 2
- 3

I guess this was something happened in windows folders some years back. not a very important issue, but like a stick in the eye for those who can see the very slight details … .

Why would this matter? It’s going to sort by most votes anyway, as soon as more than 1 vote is cast…? I mean this is _incredibly_ trivial?

convinced, and I don’t expect anyone to invest extra time on it.

meanwhile I guess if anyone is going to work on poll arrangement for other important reason, it’d be very easy to fix this as well.
