What I would do is: I would use Smile's Enhanced Find (since it can use
Regular Expressions to rename a batch of files) to insert "0" before the
figure of the files which end with only one, before firing Smile's "sort",
since Smile has a "sort" routine - of course you can still use the sorting
routine you used in the first place.

"Enhanced Find" was designed with that kind of task in mind.
