Yea, I always count like this: 05 051 056 06. Not.
Several ways to change it to the way you want ie.

107. Change the Sort Order back to Pre-XP
sortorder.reg creates NoStrCmpLogical if does not exist and changes it to 1
to use the Windows 2000 sorting method.
Or use TweakUI
TweakUI
[+] Explorer
Use intuitive filename sorting
Use intuitive filename sorting
[[If this is checked the Explorer will sort files so that, for e.g. “File 5”
comes before “File 10” because 5 comes before 10. If this is unchecked then
Explorer will use literal sorting, in which case “File 10” will come before
“File 5” because 1 comes before 5. ]]
You can download TweakUI here...
