I was wondering if we could change the sorting to be "numeric" aware
instead of just alphabetical.

Specifically if you have more than 10 units you get:
[Units]
ID         STATE   VERSION MACHINE PORTS PUBLIC-ADDRESS

ubuntu/0   started 1.18.4  1             ec2-54-220-86-118.eu-we...

ubuntu/11  started 1.18.4  2             ec2-54-155-143-100.eu-w...
...

Which is not ideal IMO. Since we *know* that units are in the form
SERVICE/NUMBER can we do numerical sorting on the second part of the field?

Martin Pool wrote a really nice natural order string comparison utility
which we could borrow:
