Sort Order different then Explorer

Hello,
The sort order of the files in XnView is different from that used by the Windows Explorer. This is kind of annoying... here an example:
Windows:
IMG_6534.jpg
IMG_6534-psp.jpg
IMG_6536.jpg
IMG_6537.jpg
IMG_6537-ws.jpg
IMG_6541.jpg
XnView:
IMG_6534-psp.jpg
IMG_6534.jpg
IMG_6536.jpg
IMG_6537-ws.jpg
IMG_6537.jpg
IMG_6541.jpg
Possibly XnView sorts by whole filename and finds that a "-" comes before ".", whereas the Explorer sorts by filename without extension and finds that "IMG_6534" comes before the longer "IMG_6534-psp" and only then sorts identical filenames by extension.
I think it would make sense to follow the MS-imposed standard, just so that a files are sorted the same in all programs.
Thanks... and BTW, 1.9 RC2 is looking good!
