The common way to make strings sort is to pad the leading places (as needed to make the highest number sort).
eg.
highest number
500 then pad 00 for single digit, 000 if 0
20 then a single 0 pad
You could use a space (ASCII%20), but those are really hard to see if you counted right, on most screens.
FWIW I commonly steer folder sorts by using a leading number:0First (or force to the end:zMakethislast) lowercase sorts AFTER uppercase

That's interesting, I use the same thing with 0's and Z's too. Any idea how in this system to have a x.5 be sorted correctly after x instead of before? So like 2.5 should come AFTER 2. In my Linux Mint file explorer (nemo) this is an issue.
