You guys are great. I went with Bob's (pick one, hah) since it ended up
being moderately faster than the method I was originally using.

Here is a variant similar to the other solutions you already got:

puts arr.sort_by {|s| s.split(/(\d+)/).each_with_index.map {|x,i|
i.odd? ? x.to_i : x }}

Works with Ruby 1.9.

Are you trying to say that you believe some part of a solution that
Jack already accepted won't work in Ruby 1.9? (Because they should
work fine.)

No, not at all. I tried to say that I believed *my* variant only
worked in 1.9 (and maybe 1.8.7). (I should have said "Only works with
Ruby 1.9").

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
