You and I know (want) that, MS is of a fully other idea. Hence the
NoStrCmpLogical registry setting (to disable MS'es idea of sorting on values
embeded in filenames).

You misunderstood: I do not want to sort on a numeric value embedded in
filenames, I just want the sorting process to stop ignoring certain
characters in filenames.

You are the second person doing this: Ignoring the facts infront of you (the
provided filename list) which shows nothing of the sort. DON'T DO THAT.
Please! It feels incredibly rude.
.... still waiting for a (possible) method to switch to pure ASCII/binary
sorting.
