I have folders that I am sorting that go above 100 but these sort our of order( 08, 09, 10, 100, 101....). Is there a way to sort properly like every other service out there?

    Hi Jordan, 

    Welcome to the Box Community!

    For numbered files that go into double digits (or higher), "0" must be used to fill digit spaces for the numbers to display correctly. For example, if you have a list of items that goes to 15, use "01" instead of "1" for the order to display correctly. For reference, please check this article: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043695474-Sort-Files-and-Folders

    Thanks!
