Logital Sorting still not quite the same as Explorer....

Hi

The issue I have is that I need to rename a load of photos, which are currently numbered 1.jpg, 2.jpg etc, to 01.jpg, 02.jpg ,etc

Now I've sorted the issue of 10 and 11 coming before 2 (logical sorting) but I still have a problem..

The photos could be something like 1.jpg, 1.1.jpg, 1.2.jpg, 2.jpg , etc

Windows explorer lists them as:
1.jpg
1.1.jpg
1.2.jpg
2.jpg
which is great cos that's the order they need to be in...

but BRU lists them (set to logical sorting) as:
1.1.jpg
1.2.jpg
1.jpg
2.jpg

Now I'm assuming this is because windows explorer is looking at the last '.' to get the extension and so is seeing 1.1.jpg as a jpg called 1.1, my guess is that BRU is looking at the first '.' and considering the file (for sorting purposes only, renaming works fine with the extension as it should be) as being 1.jpg file called 1?

Is there any way to change this so that is lists them in the right order?

Thanks (I have over 3000 files to remane so I'm looking for any help at all lol)
