Greenwood not preserving filesystem order

Summary

It looks like when I got to page 10.md, that slide started showing up in the 1x.md sequence, instead of after the 9x.md sequence, causing the last page to show up at the beginning of the slides list. :/

Details

What's interesting is that at least to me in VSCode the order is as expected, 10.md is at the end BUT, running ls returns the sort order in the UI, with 10.md coming after 1.md, but before 1a.md.

Not sure what the "right" order is here, but presumably since we claim to preserve file based routing, so seems like it would be up to this project to handle "alpha" based routing like seen in the screenshot, or document the discrepancy between the terminal and VSCode?

[thescientist13]

So this isn't really a Greenwood issue it seems. Basically, the source of truth is the filesystem, but it looks like VSCode does not respect that, despite its sort order settings options.

, so looking in the explorer gives the impression of a different order then what is actually loaded in the graph / browser.

TL;DR VS Code is giving misleading information.

BUT, it would be nice to for this project to maybe support an order like this? (notice the position of 10.md)
