Sort Problem

I just went to WinXP and now my sort of files w/n a directory is screwy in
both Windows Explorer and Powerdesk. When I view a file in Detail View and
then click on NAME to sort it, it does not sort like it did in Win98. This
is an example of file name order:
6 byt..
15-1994
721 pv..
1994 ex..
1994.zip. I'm not sure, but it seems like only the files starting with
a numerics are out of sync. Cant find any settings to change anything to do
with sorting.
