Ah, that's clear. I did read up on a couple of "natural sort" algorithms. 
None of them seem to be safe for non-ascii locales, though, which would be 
a problem.

No, it would be one at a time. The first would fill in anything empty that 
it found, then the second, and so on. Or you can set the source to 
over-write any existing data you have with the new data from the search 
source.
