---- Need a different sort order in Vista

A PS to comments above...

I just noticed that the MS KB article suggests that XP and Vista should behave the same. The OP's question (and example) suggests that they don't.

The sort order that is used by Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 for files and folders whose names contain numerals differs from the sort order that is used by Windows 2000....

...By default, the newer sort order considers strings in file and folder names as numeric content, not text. Numerals in folder and file names are sorted according to their numeric value.
