I have a very specific way of naming media such as pictures, which I occasionally view on my vintage computers for nostalgia reasons, but due to the way I name them, Windows 98 does not sort them properly, here's an example.

The way my files are named:
01. Pic
02. Pic
etc,
10. Pic
11. Pic.

Now, logically it should be sorted in that order, but Windows 98 thinks 11. should come right after 01. Does anyone know of a fix?

Try using a 3rd party viewer or media program. Or change the sort method, the reason you are seeing it is that it's going alphabetically not by value. 1 and 11 both start with 1, so to the sort 11 is before 2, just like A and AA would both be before B in the phone book.
