File name sorting at Envato

Does anyone know what type of sorting Envato uses for files? I’m asking because when I upload ZIP archive with preview screenshots, Envato sorts files in a very strange way.

I usually name my screenshots as 1.png, 2.png, etc., so buyers can view them in my desired order. It works fine while less than 10 screenshots are included. If I include 10 (or more) screenshots, Envato sorts them this way:

1.png
10.png
2.png
3.png
4.png
5.png
6.png
7.png
8.png
9.png

Why is that? It simply screws whole preview…

If I sort files locally on my system, they are sorted properly (10.png goes after 9.png, not after 1.png), no matter which OS (Linux or Win) I run and no matter which sorting method (natural, alphabetical, case (in)sensitive) I use. So there must be some bug on Envato.

Should be 01, 02, 03, etc.

That sounds like a solution, too.
