FWIW, for Windows Explorer the numerical sort order can be disabled by setting the DWORD value

     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Policies\Explorer\NoStrCmpLogical
in the registry to 1.


I honestly thought Explorer was broken and have been looking into 3rd party file browsers for Windows because this has been driving me so nuts. Thank you!


There’s also the account-specific HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\ NoStrCmpLogical, which I meant to mention, but mixed them up by mistake.
