Hello,

I'm having trouble with XP's "alphabetizing" of my files.

For instance, "0abc" will come before "abc." That's
logical. However, "00abc" will come *after* "0abc." In
other words, a number ("0") is alphabetized before a
letter ("a") in one instance, but not in the other.

XP seems to think that each second "0" in my file names
is an "o." For instance, "00abc" will come after "0abc"
but *before* "0qrs." ("o" comes after "a," but
before "q").

I hope I'm making sense. XP's alphabetizing seems pretty
odd. Is there a way I can fix that?

Thank you.

Andre
