In my XP, those files names that start with a digit do not arrange in
asceding order. But the alphabet file names do. For example, the file that
starts with "5" comes before those with "0" and "1".
Why is it so? Can anyone help me to resolve this problem. many thanks.
 
All you can do for now, is to sort manually.
Just drag them into the right order with your mouse.
OR
Substitute the digits with the alphabet.

Use TweakUI

TweakUI
[+] Explorer
Use intuitive filename sorting

[[If this is checked the Explorer will sort files so that, for e.g. “File 5”
comes before “File 10” because 5 comes before 10. If this is unchecked then
Explorer will use literal sorting, in which case “File 10” will come before
“File 5” because 1 comes before 5. ]]

Hello!

Thanks for your valuable information. I will either try to modify the XP
Registry Keys or download the TweakUI later in the day.

Will report my experience to you. Thanks again.
