Windows actually (by default) splits alphameric keys into a numeric 
part, and an alpha part. VERY confusing if you're not expecting it. My 
camera lets me define the second half of the folder the photos go in, so 
I thought "let's do 1_JAN, 2_FEB, ... A_OCT, ...".

So I ended up with names like 1059_SEP, 106A_OCT, etc. Guess what! 106 
sorts before 1059!

That's okay if you're expecting it, or everything starts with a letter, 
but I gather they made that change about XP time, and it still bites 
people who expect an alphameric key to sort alphabetically ...

Cheers,
Wol
