Sort directories named as landmarks

So, in windows, if you have a bunch of directories called GUIDs and you sort by name, it doesn't sort alphabetically. I think this applies to 7 and Vista. I also did not find a single template.

The ban on what you can try:

1) Type gpedit.msc in the Start menu search field, and then press Enter. 2) Go to "User Configuration"> "Administrative Templates"> "Windows Components" and then select "Windows Explorer" in the left column of the Group Policy Editor. 3) Disable numerical sorting in Windows Explorer in the "Settings" section of the Group Policy Editor.

He applies what is known as the “natural variety” —numeric and alphabetic sequences are split and sorted separately. The first parts of your examples are numerical and sorted this way: 1, 3, 5, 07, 7, 9, 19, 57, 214, etc., And then those that begin with alpha follow.

I don’t think there is a way to change it.
