When I sort by name ascending, I get the following weird result:

11-Sep-04 20:30 <DIR> Gatto20041102
11-Sep-04 20:30 <DIR> Gatto20041103
11-Sep-04 20:30 <DIR> Gatto2003050130Ans

It's like if it considers 2003050130 being larger than
20041103...?

If I rename Gatto2003050130Ans in Gatto20030501-30Ans, then everything is
back to normal... Strange isn't it?

Note that DOS'es dir /on works fine. It gives this nice result:

Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is A0B2-B0A5

Directory of C:\DOCUME~1\Stefano\MYDOCU~1\MYPICT~1\test
