V2: Add new query `SortByNatural`

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Currently (even in V1), we can only fetch and sort using normal SortBy, but it sorts files like this… 1-name, 10-name, 2-name, 3-name, etc.

Describe the solution you’d like

1. To be able to sort the files naturally like this… 1-name, 2-name, 3-name, 10-name
2. So, in addition to the SortBy option, kindly add one more option of SortByNatural using Intl.collator https://github.com/nuxt/content/blob/1968257881db58634bdf4448bd85d7b059f88e4c/src/runtime/query/query.ts#L35

This way we can directly naturally sort while fetching itself and then properly use limit, etc. options.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered

Fetch thousands of posts without any sort, and then use Intl.collator to sort them, and then filter out only first n posts. But it’s not performant if there are so many posts.

Seems like a good solution to order by default, what do you think @farnabaz ?

Instead of having sortByNatural I’m proposing a change in sortBy and create mongo like sorting util which is more powerful and fix multiple issues in sorting, like case insensitive sorting, or natural sorting.

queryContent().sort({
  title: 1, // title ascending
  description: 0, // descending
  $numeric: 1, // natural sort
  $sensitivity: 'case' // define case sensitivity
})
