+\item[Interpret numbers when sorting:]
+  \setting{As whole numbers} enables a sorting algorithm which is similar to
+  the default sorting of, for example, Windows Explorer, Mac OS X's Finder
+  or Nautilus, with regards to numbers at the beginning or within file names.
+  It combines consecutive digits to numbers and uses this numbers for sorting.
+  \newline\setting{As whole numbers} disables this algorithm, and causes every digit to
+  be compared separately.
