    Sort the output according to ASCII character list (using strcmp), which
    supports both number sequence and alphabet sequence.
    
    Example:
    
    Before this patch:
    
     $ perf list
    
     List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):
       cpu-cycles OR cycles                               [Hardware event]
       instructions                                       [Hardware event]
       cache-references                                   [Hardware event]
       cache-misses                                       [Hardware event]
       branch-instructions OR branches                    [Hardware event]
       branch-misses                                      [Hardware event]
       bus-cycles                                         [Hardware event]
       ...                                                ...
    
       jbd2:jbd2_start_commit                             [Tracepoint event]
       jbd2:jbd2_commit_locking                           [Tracepoint event]
       jbd2:jbd2_run_stats                                [Tracepoint event]
       block:block_rq_issue                               [Tracepoint event]
       block:block_bio_complete                           [Tracepoint event]
       block:block_bio_backmerge                          [Tracepoint event]
       block:block_getrq                                  [Tracepoint event]
       ...                                                ...
    
    After this patch:
    
     $ perf list
    
     List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):
       branch-instructions OR branches                    [Hardware event]
       branch-misses                                      [Hardware event]
       bus-cycles                                         [Hardware event]
       cache-misses                                       [Hardware event]
       cache-references                                   [Hardware event]
       cpu-cycles OR cycles                               [Hardware event]
       instructions                                       [Hardware event]
       ...                                                ...
    
       block:block_bio_backmerge                          [Tracepoint event]
       block:block_bio_complete                           [Tracepoint event]
       block:block_getrq                                  [Tracepoint event]
       block:block_rq_issue                               [Tracepoint event]
       jbd2:jbd2_commit_locking                           [Tracepoint event]
       jbd2:jbd2_run_stats                                [Tracepoint event]
       jbd2:jbd2_start_commit                             [Tracepoint event]
       ...                                                ...
