The Ascending order are differnce in Notion as in the PC

Normally I used the below serial number to tag many things, "180-XX Name". XX will be from 00 to 09, 0A, 0B, 0Z, then 10, 11, until ZZ. It is Base36 and could use 2 digits to represent over 1000. And in PC, when use the ASC order, it will work smoothly. But in Notion, when in ASC order for name, it will show the frequency as 180-00, 180-0A, 180-02, 180-03.... That is annoying. Anything can change that so it will show as windows explorer does.

    Unlike Windows Explorer, which applies natural sorting (i.e., human-friendly "natural order"), Notion's default sorting doesn't recognize "180-00," "180-0A," "180-0B" as sequential numbers in base36.
