   This is the natural behavior for lexicographic sorting which treats everything as a string. We are unlikely to change this behavior in the near- or mid-term.

   This would be huge for us, thousands of files that are incorrectly sorted when uploaded to Box. Adding 0s to the start of these numbers to correct sorting just isn't feasible, and Macs auto-numbering feature won't do it, as there is no need for it on Macs since they sort by full number. Thank you. Hoping for a way to select this method of sorting soon.
