I am setting a directory structure at work. The sub directories are listed in a numeric form. I need the directories to list as 1 2 3. but they list as 1 11 12 etc etc 2 20 21
 
A simple fix if you are able to name directories this way for your purpose would be to rename the first 9 directories 01,02,03 etc. They will display in proper order due to windows looking at the first character when it orders subs.
 
How about preceding with zero's. So 1 is 001, 10 is 010, etc. You can use more zero's if necessary
When you think you have nowhere else to go - Improvise, Adapt, Overcome.
