794 - Sort order illogical?

FCXE 794 64-bit on Win7
Okay, I'm surprised by what I'm seeing, and hopefully I'm misinterpreting something, but it seems that certain files are sorted in an illogical way when Natural (Windows Explorer) Sorting is enabled.
Specifically, I have a bunch of files that are of the format {UUID}.txt
And when they are sorted ascendingly, they appear as:
{123...}.txt
{789...}.txt
{533...}.txt
I tried this with dozens of files, and they never sort as one would expect.
To be fair, Windows Explorer (in Win7) has a similar issue, although it sorts them in a different order than FCXE.
Could Natural Sorting be improved to handle this more elegantly?
