Nor I. But I've had to deal with this very same problem (especially getting in numeric order) when taking over, maintaining and further developing, or redeveloping, legacy systems. Even had the author of one such system, before I took it over, asking me the same question about how to get it in the correct order.
Well DUH_UH! :-)
