Numeric Sort Order Question

This is killing me.....
What is this sort order called:
1
10
100
1000
12345
178912
2
200
256142375869433
3
300
It's in descending order by the number it starts with, then in descending order within that number group. Once you get to the next number, it starts over. Is that 'natural sort' order?

No, in natural sort order each numeral of the integer isn't sorted independently from the rest of the whole number.
I.e. you wouldn't sort 111 as 1.1.1
ETA: just by looking as the numbers it appears just normal Alphabetical Numeral sorting, but the description seems like you mean it as more than that.

That's ascending lexicographic order.
