Understanding 'sort by name' behavior in Finder I don't understand the sort behavior I'm experiencing in Finder (MacOS Sierra). Is there anyway to get the 'sort by name' to sort alphabetically such that 0 &lt; 9, a &lt; z, and numbers &lt; letters?
Apple OS X uses "natural" sort order in which a string of digits is considered as a unit.

The Apple documentation is in the Finder section of this page. 

An old article on Finder sorting that may still be useful is here.

I think Terminal may sort the way you want.  There are also several 3rd party alternatives to the Finder which may offer that kind of sorting.
