it’s so confusing that the order changes when adding IDENTICAL strings to BOTH filenames. Is this really how it’s supposed to be?

Humans aren’t sorting this though. A computer is.
How should 5.2 and 5.12 be sorted? Numerically 5.12 is less than 5.2. But if it’s a version then it’s “five dot twelve” and thus 5.12 is greater.
These are contextual things that are very difficult for a computer to know. And trying to guess often just makes things weirder. So they often sort in a way that is at least consistent.
