Clearly Digit

but Microsoft sort order of files begin with letters to Digits means :

111.txt first OK

111-1.txt goes top of 111.txt , ERROR

in History first was the Digit , then the letter .

i want a HP Servicepack for this

What version of Windows are you using?

On XP and Vista, mine has 111.txt then 111-1.txt.

But I don't see any letters here, just numerics and punctuation. Somehow it seems that "." sorts before "-".

But "," sorts before ".".

On a Unix or Linux system with the C locale, the files typically sort in ASCII order, where "-" is before ".".

I'm not sure what History has to do with this topic?
