I am confused:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_number 

States that Some definitions, including the standard ISO 80000-2,[3][a] begin 
the natural numbers with 0, so I thought this is standard emacs/org uses. This 
seems not to be the case, am I right
the funny thing is if I chose 
(org-table-sort-lines nil nil nil nil t) alphabetically

It does the right thing, bizarre.
