I have a folder with files with version numbers, file (01), file (02) and so on over a hundred files. When I sort on name it looks like this:
file (10).jpg
file (101).jpg
......
file (109).jpg
file (11).jpg

How can I sort the files with correct order on both name and version numbers?

OK, thanks. Let's take another example. If I have one hundred files and rename them by highlighting them and point at the first file, right click and give the name file (001) they will be sorted in the wrong order because files like file(001) will be renamed File(1) and thus will be sorted in the wrong roder.
 
I use a program called Renameit. Available from Sourceforge for free.


I have a lot of photos vrom cameras and web pics and its a useful mass file manipulator. just highlight a batch of files and tell it what you want doing to them.

Ive had it since erm, well a long long number of computers.

File names are listed in order using the ASCII code sequence

ie ALT 0 1 6 9 keypresses writes ©

file names are arranged naturally in ascending 0 to 256 code so you can prioritise names of files by the prefix to a file and so on through the name string of a file.

Brackets just give files another cause to sort.

Check out the https://www.ascii-code.com/ website for all Ascii questions.
