Sort by name in projectwise explorer - lexicographical order vs natural order

Hello,

When sorting by name in ProjectWise Explorer, it appears that ProjectWise uses "natural sorting" by default. This means numbers are treated as numerical values rather than plain text.

For example, when sorting the following folders:

234_XXXX19111_XXXX23111_XXXX

The result will be:

234_XXXX19111_XXXX23111_XXXX

Instead of the lexicographical order:

19111_XXXX23111_XXXX234_XXXX

It would be nice if it is possible to modify the sorting behavior so that it follows a purely alphabetical (lexicographical) order instead of only natural sorting.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Felipe
