Implementos de cadenas Comparable, y eso es lo que el ordenamiento natural es en Java (comparando el uso de la interfaz comparable). Puede colocar las cadenas en un TreeSet u ordenar usando las clases Collections o Array.
Sin embargo, en su caso no desea "ordenamiento natural" que realmente desea un comparador personalizado, que luego puede utilizar en el método Collections.sort o el método Arrays.sort que toma un comparador.
En términos de la lógica específica que está buscando implementar dentro del comparador, (números separados por puntos) no conozco ninguna implementación estándar existente de eso, pero como dijo, no es un problema difícil.
EDITAR: En su comentario, su enlace obtiene here, que hace un trabajo decente si no le molesta el hecho de que es sensible a mayúsculas y minúsculas. Aquí está el código modificado para permitir que pase en el String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER:

* This is an updated version with enhancements made by Daniel Migowski,
* Andre Bogus, and David Koelle
*
* To convert to use Templates (Java 1.5+):
* - Change "implements Comparator" to "implements Comparator<String>"
* - Change "compare(Object o1, Object o2)" to "compare(String s1, String s2)"
* - Remove the type checking and casting in compare().
*
* To use this class:
* Use the static "sort" method from the java.util.Collections class:
* Collections.sort(your list, new AlphanumComparator());

divertido, todo el mundo - volver a leer la pregunta y eliminar las respuestas publicadas !! .. :) ¡Creo que este es el poder de DOWNVOTE! :);) – OscarRyz
BTW. Numérico no es el orden natural cuando se habla de cadenas, por lo que la pregunta es un poco engañosa. – OscarRyz
Nada de eso incluido en mi conocimiento. Cuando se codifica toma menos tiempo que pedir SO, generalmente corro para mi propia rueda ... :) – glmxndr
