Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

natcasesort() is about alphanumeric strings; hyphens and underscores,
for instance, are not alphanumeric characters, though.  Use usort()
with an appropriate user defined comparison function, if you need it.
