How do I order a listview in javascript?

I have a webpage that calls a PHP function that returns a list of files in a folder then displays them as a list view
The files are text files that go as follows
Order1.txt
Order2.txt
Etc..
Order10.txt
Order11.txt

The problem I have is when they are displayed in the listview, they come out as

Order1.txt
Order10.txt
Order11.txt
Order2.txt
Etc...

I need in order 1 to whatever in order. I’m not able to change the format of the saved files

Can anyone suggest anything? I’m struggling with what I thought would be simple!

What I have tried:

I’ve tried a few things on sorting list views and they work for alphabetical but not for this because of the numbering, which I can’t change

Solution 1

The problem is the file names.
You should name them Order01.txt, Order02.txt etc.
instead of Order1.txt, Order2.txt etc.

I can’t rename the files in the directory, they are produced by another piece of software and I really don’t want to have to mess around renaming files

String sort works that way only so the other software should rename files with pre 0s(like Order01.txt, Order02.txt).

Think about 3 & 4 digit numbers file names like Order100.txt, Order101.txt. That time 1st file should be named like Order001.txt instead of Order01.txt. Inform this to other software vendor to make changes.
