feat: use natural sort in file browser (#722)

## Summary

* **What is the goal of this PR?** (e.g., Implements the new feature for
file uploading.)

Implement natural sort (e.g. "file1.txt, file2.txt, file10.txt" instead
of "file1.txt, file10.txt, file2.txt") for files in the
MyLibraryActivity menu

* **What changes are included?**

Modifies the `sortFileList` function under
`src/activities/home/MyLibraryActivity.cpp` to use natural sort as
opposed to lexicographical sort

## Additional Context

I wasn't entirely sure whether or not i should make this a configurable
option, but most file browsers and directory listing tools have this set
as an immutable default, so I opted against it.

* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
(e.g., performance implications, potential risks,
  specific areas to focus on).
