it’s so confusing that the order changes when adding IDENTICAL strings to BOTH filenames. Is this really how it’s supposed to be?

    Yes. The periods are just part of the name like any other letter, so 5 is compared to m, and numbers sort before letters. You can add something like ‘.0’ to make it sort more naturally. Look up an ASCII table to get a feeling for how strings are sorted.
