const S1: string; |

NaturalCompareText will compare 2 strings and return one of the following values:
When S1 and S2 are integer or floating point values, the actual values are compared. Thus '12' will come after '2'. If either of the values is not a valid integer or floating point values, the strings are compared case insensitively as texts using CompareText
A decimal separator and thousands separator can optionally be specified in ADecSeparator, AThousandSeparator. If none are specified, the defaults from the system unit will be used.
