AC26 has changed the rules for alphabetizing?

I am currently trying to update our office standard to AC26 (FIN, if that matters).

Incredibly frustratingly, it seems that at least in Layers, the rules for alphabetizing seems to have changed?

 

Previously this would be a list of layers in alphabetical order by "Name":
(word "layer" is replaced by content, of course)
AR1_layer
AR112_layer
AR115_layer
AR1245_layer
AR2_layer
AR201_layer
AR2350_layer
AR3_layer
AR31_layer

..and so on.

 

Now, it seems this is in alphabetical order by "Name":
AR1_layer
AR2_layer

AR3_layer
AR31_layer
AR112_layer

AR115_layer

AR201_layer
AR1245_layer

AR2350_layer

 

This really does not work for me.

I also tried to create a test schedule of zones and their area. Sorting by the "area" value works as before.
Sorting by "zone number" value produces a list like this:
(note that for test purposes I just input random numbers)
1
001
02
0002
003
4
05
8
08
011
023
034
89
089

What on earth is going on here? Is there some new setting I should know how to tick or is the AC26 just still too fresh and in need of a serious update?

Running AC26 on Windows 10 Pro.

Just an update:

I contacted AC representative in Finland and they also said, like @Eduardo Rolon wrote, that based on their current information it is a permanent fix to what was experienced to be a bug in the earlier versions.

 

I didn't experience it as a bug though, I experience this new version to be highly annoying. 😄 

But I guess I just need to spend some time thinking about how to make this work with our office standard.

 

Thanks everyone!

and sadly it is not completely fixed since it is still broken for letters in the navigator…
