No natural sort option when using Search API indexed views

I am not seeing the natural sort option in the Views "Sort criteria".

I'm having the same issue as described in a previous ticket (see related issues). The response there was that the user was using an outdated version of the module and that the old implementation was different. I'm running the latest versions (Drupal 7).

The situation:
- modules are installed and enabled.
- the title field has been configured to enable natural sorting (in the content type's field management page)
- indexing all seems to running fine, both after saving the natural sort settings and when indexing using Search API
- the field has been set to String in the search index (to allow field to be used for sorting)
- modules are the latest versions

I can add the title as a Sort criteria (as usual), but no options are given for the natural sorting

ex.
Sort criteria:
Indexed Node: Title (asc)

Versions:
Drupal version : 7.43
Views Natural Sort Version : 7.x-2.6
Views Version : 7.x-3.18
