AFAICT, natural sort shouldn't ever make datetimes harder to find, unless they are formatted inconsistently, as in the author's case. Suppose one camera wrote dates as 20250928 and another as 2025-09-28. ASCIIbetical sort would do nothing to help here.
Natural sort can even improve things over ASCII sort, for instance if someone is stuck with a format like "28/9/2025" or "September 2 2025"
I agree with you on this point.
