File Sorting Errors

I'm trying to sort these shots by name but the results are not working.
Using filenames "image 1", "image 2", etc. but the sort is getting confused by the numbers.
Thie is the page: http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/20090399_KFtCKK#!i=1728695923&k=zSfXW3P
I really need to sort these. Must I use a different filename structure to get the sorting I need?
Thanks,
Dan

I'm sorry to hear about your sorting problems. If you sort alphabetically, computers sort by looking at the first character, then the second, the third etc. They don't see a three-digit number as a whole. The solution is simple: just rename your photos using as many digits as necessary. If you have 500 photos, use three digits, like this:
Image001
Image002
Image003
...
Image010
...
Image099
...
Image234 etc.
