Shared files listing order
My ascending order files in my folder are randomly appearing in the shared folder in a numerical sequence based on the first digit, e.g., 1, 11, 12, 13, ... 2, 20, 21, 22,... 3, 30 31, etc. They are ...
Here are two screenshots.

Thanks for the help.

Dropbox StaffHi EMSHP, thanks for the info. In general, the order would be in numerical order, so 1, followed by 11, 12 and so on. However, certain OSes choose to show files as 1, 2, 3 and so on.
If you want the files to appear in a standard order for all systems, it would be best to have a leading zero, such as 01, 02, etc. This would ensure that the file appears in the correct order.
Great. Thanks for the suggestion.
Seems odd though. These files have been on Dropbox since about 2017-18 with no issue. And, some days the files appear numbered sequentially, and some days they are not. This all started happening just about three weeks ago. I'll try listing them as you suggest but I think there may be another issue.
