Description

Image

I have files I'm trying to assign track numbers to, but when I set the folder to sort by track number, tracks in the 100s get sorted next to 10s, 200s next to 20s, and so on. I don't want track 200 to come before track 30. Not sure if this is a bug or oversight or what, but how do I get it to sort by numerical value?

Research direction

The report identifies Nemo's track-number sorting behavior but names no source file or test. Start by reproducing the ordering with track numbers such as 10, 30, 100, and 200, then locate the sorting implementation and relevant tests; done means numeric ordering is preserved rather than lexicographic ordering.
