Um... you can try using a numbering scheme that is inclusive of the highest number of episodes you are going to use
i.e. if you are gonna go up to 99 use 01 , 02 , etc...
if you are going to exceed 99 use a triple digit scheme (001, 002 etc)
That's because the numbers are sorted with their first letter, then their second and so on... (because they are saved as text)
so let's say if you had a, ab, b, ba they would be sorted
a
ab
b
ba
same goes with 1, 10, 2, 20 etc..
