Answer 1

I know this might be late, but here is another solution which works perfectly

FileInfo[] files = di.GetFiles().OrderBy(n => Regex.Replace(n.Name, @"\d+", n => n.Value.PadLeft(4, '0')));

Using Regex replace in the OrderBy Clause:

Regex.Replace(n.Name, @"\d+", n => n.Value.PadLeft(4, '0'))

So what this does, it pads the numeric values in the file name with a length of 4 chars in each number:

0-0.jpeg     ->   0000-0000.jpeg
0-1.jpeg     ->   0000-0001.jpeg
0-5.jpeg     ->   0000-0005.jpeg
0-9.jpeg     ->   0000-0009.jpeg
0-10.jpeg    ->   0000-0010.jpeg
0-12.jpeg    ->   0000-0012.jpeg

But this only happens in the OrderBy clause, it does not touch the original file name in any way. The order you will end up with in the array is the "human natural" order.
