Numeric Sort - Just what is the logic here?
More curious then anything...
Options | Configuration | Panels -> Sorting ==> Use numerical sort for numbers contained in strings
And with that, what logic is being used with this particular directory set?
(Extract ZIP [.7z] contents, ~325 files, into an empty directory.
Actually you don't even need to extract the files, as they will
list the same from within the .7z.)
Oh, & sort the list alphabetically (Name) - with Numerical sorting enabled too.

From he Help FIle:
I hope this clears thing for you.Use numerical sort for numbers contained in strings
When checked, it tries to detect numbers in names and sort according to the values of such numbers. E.g. when this is turned on, you will see 2.txt followed by 10.txt (2 is less than 10), if turned off, you'll see 10.txt followed by 2.txt (character '1' precedes '2').
