You are correct, she should have used leading '0's. Really, they could have fixed that sort. Excel does it without leading '0's. Excel also does a lot of other nonsense because it is trying too hard, maybe I prefer the dumb sort. I try to get my people to start dated files with YYYYMMDDHHMM just because the file sorting is sort of dumb, but they insist on MMDDYYYY so all the years get jumbled together by month...

This is 100% my pet peeve. Obviously Y-M-D-H-M is the correct format for timestamps because an alphanumeric sort will put them in chronological order.
