What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?
I have a collection of manga stored locally by chapter, but recently i observed the name sorting for numbered chapter folder sorted rather weirdly. I hope to see a better name sorting for numbered files/folder.
Scenario 1:
Current behavior:
- ch.1
- ch.10
- ch.11
- ch.12
- ch.13
- ch.14
- ch.15
- ch.16
- ch.17
- ch.18
- ch.19
- ch.2
- ch.20
Preferred behavior:
- ch.1
- ch.2
- ch.3
- ch.4
- ch.5
- ch.6
- ch.7
- ch.8
- ch.9
- ch.10
- ch.11
Scenario 2:
Current behavior:
- ch.1
- ch.2
- ch.3
- ch.4
- ch.5
- ch.6
- ch.1.5
- ch.2.5
- ch.3.5
Preferred behavior:
- ch.1
- ch.1.5
- ch.2
- ch.2.5
- ch.3
- ch.3.5
- ch.4
- ch.5
- ch.6
Requirements
- This proposal will lead to a better name sorting for numbered files/folder.
Files Version
4.0.11.0
Windows Version

I would be in favour of this, but it may need to be an option for the user. Maybe something like
Use smart file ordering for numerals
There is scope to go beyond numbers also, but this would be more complex, and may be language specific. Things like
Get Smart
The Golden Girls
- Where the word "the" is treated as ignorable when sorting, the equivalent would be "Golden Girls, The" as a sorting name...

I agree that this feature should be an option for user to opt-in to use.
