Sort Order

This isn't causing a problem at the moment, but I curious ...

I have a folder containing number-named folders in OS X 10.4.11.
The Finder visibly sorts these folders in list view in the order ...
{_B, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27, 28,29,30,31,A}
Which is alpha-numeric ordering.


I have an AppleScript that gets a list of these folders sorted by name.
I can clearly see the folders being processed in the order ...
{1,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,2,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,3,30,31 ,4,5,6,7,8,9,_B,A}
which is alphabetic ordering.


Is this an over-sight? Or is there a mysterious reason for this? Is this a latent bug?
