We can see in a directory files ordered by Name in Windows Explorer.

If I try the same thing in the Windows command prompt it orders by name differently – correctly:

dir *.jpg /ON /B  cubierta.jpg pag00.jpg pag06.jpg pag08.jpg pag09.jpg pag100.jpg pag101.jpg pag102.jpg pag103.jpg pag104.jpg pag105.jpg pag106.jpg pag107.jpg pag108.jpg pag109.jpg pag11.jpg, etc, etc, etc, ... 

Is there a way to get dir to order by Name where it reads the numbers as a human would do?

    Your best option (if possible) is to add enough leading zeros (two, in this case) to your smaller numbers so that the sort does come out as expected.
