Excel 2003 / Windows Explorer (XP) sort order differs - How to fix?

[John Bartley K7AAY]

In Excel 2003,

mpeg2_MP@H1440_1280x720p_29.97fps_CBR_40Mbs_openGOP_zzscan.mpv
comes before
mpeg2_MP@H1440_720x576i_25fps_CBR_45Mbs_closedGOP_alternatescan_LFF.mpv

In XP's Windows Explorer and also using DIR/ON in a command prompt
shell window, the sort order is reversed.

How do I reconcile the two so they sort in the same order?

Thank you kindly.

It requires me to create an MSN Hotmail, MSN Messenger, or Passport
account. I have a surfeit of web accounts to memorize, and I think the
answer would be of benefit to the members of this USENET newsgroup
instead of shut up behind a walled garden, owned by M$.

Actually it IS in the newsgroup, he just happened to point you at the
web interface to this USENET newsgroup. Which also happens to reside on
a server owned by Microsoft.

Oddly enough, version 2.0 was installed and had that attribute already
set before I reported the problem.

I checked the web page kindly provided, found a new version 2.1,
installed that, and 2.10 solved the problem.

Many thanks to Ben Lucas for pointing the way to the solution!
