Answer 1

Alphabetically, the "wrong" order is in fact correct. If you want it sorted numerically then you'll need to either:

1. convert the filenames to a list of numeric numbers and sort them
2. name the files in such a way that alphabetic and numeric sorting are the same (0-001.jpeg and 0-030.jpg)
3. rely on the file creation time to sort (presuming the files were created in order).

See the answer to Sorting Directory.GetFiles() for an example of #3.
