I've only just noticed that Finder (10.5.5) has the same bloody
horrible habit as Windows Explorer of trying to be clever about
ordering files whos names start with numerals. Eg

0000
1
0000001-a
1d
1f
002
2a
003
10
001000
1970
011111

and it's rubbish, so I'd like to turn it off. Can it be done?

I tried this on a Windows system.  I get the order:

0000.txt
0000001-a.txt
001000.txt
002.txt
003.txt
011111.txt
1.txt
10.txt
1970.txt
1d.txt
1f.txt
 2a.txt

This does at least seem reasonable.  How did you arrive at your order?

It's the one I want.

Finder does it by itself. Or do you mean in Windows? XP defaults to
that sort order, I usually turn it off with a registry tweak.

with a teddy bear containing a radio-opaque teddy-bear skeleton.
