When you look at a list of pictures in Windows explorer. Why is dog10.jpg shown before dog2.jpg. This is the kind of ordering that only makes sense to programmers. This is why your digital camera adds all those extra zeros when you import files and your dog pictures are called dog0001.jpg.
David Koelle proposes an alternative ordering algorithm that makes more sense to non-programmers.

Windows XP does that already.
Is this an option you have to turn on? I just tried it on my XP machine and bob100.txt is before bob2.txt.
XP was fixed with one of the service packs. It didn't do it right in the beginning, but they enhanced it along the way.
