I use a tool to bulk rename files when I run into this sort issue. I use BulkRenameUtility to accomplish this. For you example, I'd select only the single digit files and either replace "Title" with "Title0" or insert "0" at position 6, both are options in BRU. The files will now sort in order and concatenate in order.
