XnView Software

Hello! once again thanks for this great free-software!
I use xnview to browse lots of pics and i use pics named like:

1_pic1.xxx
2_pic2.xxx
3_pic3.xxx
...
15_pic15.xxx
...
38_pic38.xxx

and i have this little problem using xnview:
the MS Windows Explorer sorts the images (correctly IMO) this way: 1...5...10...15...20... and so on, but xnview doesn't.
Instead it sorts like:
11,12,13...19,1,20,21,22...29,2,30,31,32...39,3,40,41... and so on.
this is really annoying because each time i open the pic nº1 instead of starting from the top of the list is stars after all the 1X, 1XX and 1XXX numbers. and turns whats a sorted list in something that we could call a big mess.

well, it would be great if you fixed it, because i searched for any option that could change the sort order and found nothing.

thanks

Use 'View->Arrange by->Name (numeric)' to sort the files numerically.

well changed a lil bit, but still isn't sorted right.
now it sorts this way:

10
11
...
18
19
1
4
5
...
8
9
20
21
...
28
29
2
30
31
...
38
39
3
40
41
...

the difference is that the 4,5,6,7.... aren't in the end of the list
restarted and stuff.. nothing changed

weird... is that in some folders (with more the 100 pics) they sort it almost perfectly. it just messes with the number 1 and 2. something like:

3
4
5
...
10
...
18
19
1
20
21
...
28
29
2
30
31
32... and from here sorts it ascending

lol found one thing that might help.
my pics are named #_name.xxx and if i rename them to #-name.xxx they get sorted the right way.
omg! what the problem with the _ ?
