悪魔城ドラキュラ―古城の死闘 (双葉文庫―ファミコン冒険ゲームブックシリーズ) rare old castlevania fanbook. Wished they still did stuff like this. Scanned by: Super Shanko. Edit: Reordered files. No idea how they got that screwed up in the first place. Had to manually reorder every one. Took hours...ugh.
Pretty sure this doesn't count as commercial non h. I've seen similar stuff hosted here, so... Rare old school stuff like this deserves to be preserved. Edit: Thanks Shanko for letting me know the order was fucked.

Looks like the order problem was thanks to how some OSes or programs handle numbers in file names.
Some can't detect that lower digit numbers go before higher digit numbers and try to arrange them alphanumerically (where the order goes *space/blank*, then 1-9, then a-z). So if you got 1-30, it'll sort them like this: 1, 10-19, 2, 20-29, 3, 30, 4-9. Higher numbers and you get things like: 1, 10, 100-19, 11, 111-119... and so forth. Old systems all worked like this, which is why a lot of times lists would add a bunch of preceding zeros to make all the numbers have the same number of digits, so instead of 1-30, they'd have something like 0001-0030. Now that there were no "blanks", the program would order them correctly.
Newer OSes can detect the number of digits so 1-30 will be ordered as 1-30 even without a zero in front of 1-9 to match the number of digits in 10-30. But not all newer programs can do that, so you can still get problems like the above.
TL;DR Order was fucked because computers know "02" comes before "10" but don't know "2" comes before "10".
@homogenized I was thinking the same, until I renamed everything to just Scan*** 001-201 to keep the same number of digits and it still completely screwed up. having to manually delete 201 images one by one was the time consuming part. Eventually I just gave up and on the third upload reordered it manually. It's the only time I've ever had this issue uploading a gallery here. Thank you for your input though.

Looking at the old gallery, what happened was somehow there was only one leading zero, so you got 01-99 instead of 001-099.
