Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Filenames are text, not numbers, so 11 comes before 2. So does 111, 101, etc. Anything starting with 1 is before 2.

In order to sort "properly", you have to name your files properly.

00
01
02
up to...
99

If you have more than 100 files in the same folder, the you have to go back through and re-name them:

000
001
002
... 099
100

Oh no this isn't it, this is extremely basic. As a programmer you will encounter way way more complex logic problems, so logic problems become 2nd nature. And it can be frustrating when "normies" don't understand what appear to a programmer to be a matter of pretty simple logic thinking.

It's also why stuff like this exists:

A Perl program to convert the number of digits in the first numeric field that appears in a list of filenames.

source

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# numberit.pl
# Converts between number formats (number of leading zeros) in numbers in title names
# Usage: <number of digits> filelist

$digits = shift (@ARGV);

if ($digits > -1)
{
    foreach $oldName (@ARGV)
    {
        $newName = $digitValue = $oldName;

        if ($digitValue =~ m/\//) {
          $digitValue =~ m/^(.*\/[^0-9\/]*)([0-9]+)([^\/]*)$/;
          $prefix = $1;
          $postfix = $3;
          if (!defined($prefix)) {
            $prefix = "";
          }

          $digitFormatted = sprintf("%0${digits}d", $2);

        } else {
          $digitValue =~ m/^([^0-9]*)([0-9]+)([^\/]*)$/;
          $prefix = $1;
          $postfix = $3;
          if (!defined($prefix)) {
            $prefix = "";
          }

          $digitFormatted = sprintf("%0${digits}d", $2);


        }

        if ($digitValue) {
          $newName = $prefix . $digitFormatted . $postfix;
          rename($oldName, $newName);
        }
      }
}

Looks something like:

$ touch a1.mp3
$ touch a2.mp3
$ numberit.pl 3 *
$ ls
a001.mp3  a002.mp3
$ numberit.pl 2 *
$ ls
a01.mp3  a02.mp3
$
