 When trying to sort posts by meta_key with numeric values the order is not
 "natural".

 eg:  1, 10, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

 This should be

 eg: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

 I have attached a simple addition to wp-includes/query.php which allows
 for this type of sorting.

 Query use: orderby=meta_value_num
