File Tree: inconsistent sort order with alphas / numerals for files and folders

Steps to reproduce

Create a series of files or folders, where numerical and alphabetical characters are mixed in the first positions of the file/folder name. Include a dot in some, but not in others. Observe differences in sorting order. Screenshot linked for example.

Expected result

Numerals should sort above alphas, dots above numerals, and spaces above all

Actual result

It looks like, if an alpha immediately follows a numeral, the alpha will sort before numerals for files/folders with the same preceding characters. If the alpha follows a dot, it sorts after numerals, as expected.

Hello, this is not a bug and is not related to . either. We use Natural Order sorting and that’s how it works.
