They aren't. Whoever at Microsoft came up with the non-alphabetical file
sorting order in Vista ought to be shot, dismembered and cremated, then
have his/her ashes scattered in the ocean before this practice
contaminates Microsoft and the earth any further.

I have folders containing up to 4096 other folders within, and the
Vista alphabetical sort is a major PITA. For instance, 00a, 00b, 00c,
00d, 00e, 00f, 0a0, 0b0, ad infinitum, are listed before 001, 002, etc.

The strange thing is, when I do a folder listing, I can *_see_* the
folders in their correct order before Vista takes over and sorts them as
they want it to be done.

Someone needs to tell the lovely folks at Microsoft that alphabetical
listings are sorted in columnar order, column by column, from left to
right, and not in any other fashion.

And thank you, Zygy, for your original post. It's nice to know someone
else has this problem, and I can commiserate.
