Thanks for the help Jorgen, I don't know if I am answering your question or looking more stupid than usual.
Properties of the installation file give me the following -

I had to be at work all day yesterday. Don't ask.
I made good use of the time by finally implementing a StringComparer which yields my preferred sort order for strings such as the following:
In:
Bob.txt
bob010.txt
Bobby.txt
bob.txt
bob11.txt
bob1.txt
bob01.txt
bob100.txt
bob2.txt
bob20.txt
bob02.txt
bob020.txt
bobby.txt
bob0.txt
bob10.txt
bob111.txt
Out:
bob.txt
bob0.txt
bob1.txt
bob01.txt
bob2.txt
bob02.txt
bob10.txt
bob010.txt
bob11.txt
bob20.txt
bob020.txt
bob100.txt
bob111.txt
bobby.txt
Bob.txt
Bobby.txt
I may write an Article about it once I've lived with it a while.

It looks close to an explorer-style sort.
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"
|
|
|
|
|
So you prefer your own sort
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, otherwise I feel out of sorts.
|
|
|
|
|
When you run out of sorts what then?

It's of no use to me.
None of my files are called bob.

Seeing "bob10.txt" appear before "bob010.txt" looks confusing to me. While the digits both "collapse" down to "10", I'd expect the one with the leading 0 to appear before the one without. That is what Explorer does. It looks to me like the choice was made based on the length of the string (longer should appear after, so long as the "value" of the numbers are equivalent - is that correct?)
Not criticizing, just point out how it's different than what I'd expect.

Yes.
Though I don't expect to be sorting file names with and without leading ZEROs together.
I also tried sorting strings with leading SPACEs -- as if they had leading ZEROs -- but it lead to inconsistencies when mixed within the sample set.
The expectation is that a typical set of strings would be consistent.

If you can control that, then great...
|
|

|

The immediate need is for a set of files I'm generating.
|
|
|
|
|
If you're the one generating those files, wouldn't it have been simpler to change the code that creates those filenames so they're consistent? 
|
|
|
|
|
They are consistent. With no leading zeroes.
|
|
|
|
|
Ah, natural sorting.
I have made one of those in SQL.
|
|
|
|
|
Hard to do anything string-related in SQL.
|
|
|
|
|
Indeed, but sometimes it's just more efficient to do the sorting in the database and add it to an index.
