      If the concern is that the files would be out of order when displayed in a file browser, Windows File Explorer actually accounts for this by sorting the number parts of a file sequentially in the case of multiple files sharing the same prefix. E.g. “file_10.txt” will sort after “file_9.txt” and not in between “file_1.txt” and “file_2.txt” as you would expect from a naive alphabetical sorting.

      I still use leading zeroes though. It looks a lot more pleasant when the file names are the same length.
