Wrong order of folder listing

I have full collection of Hitchcock films (68 pcs of ripped DVD`s). DVD`s folder physical struckture looks like:

Hitchcock -->
--->DVD-1
--->DVD-2
..........
..........
--->DVD-68
But when I look to the order of listing on Samsung TV set or WIN/Linux based players the folder struckture looks like:
Hitchcock -->
--->DVD-1
--->DVD-10
--->DVD-11
...............
...............
--->DVD-2
--->DVD-20
--->DVD-21
etc, etc.

Is any possibility to have DVD`s subdirs listed in order from 1 to 68?
Any idea?

That is the correct sort order for alpha-numeric folder names. You need to be cleverer with your folder names.

As long as you expect to have less than 100 DVDs then use DVD-XX where XX is 01 to 99, or DVD-XXX where XXX is 001 to 999 if you expect to have more than 99 DVDs. The leading zeroes will ensure that you get the right order.

No because that is how computers sort things.

If you want it sorted the way you want then use 01, 02, etc. Not 1, 2, etc.

That way it will be sorted as you want.

OK. After renaming from 1 to 01 works fine.
