Numerical sorting when sharing a link to files

I created a Dropbox and numbered the files so they would stay in order. However, when people access the shared link they aren't in numerical order?

 

Instead of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 it's 1,10,11,12,2,3,4,5....?

 

How do I fix this weirdness?

    Use leading zeros, e.g. 01, 02, 03, etc.
