Order or images in folders

Hello

I have been scanning my family negative and slides and am importing them into Light Room after processing and saving in Photoshop.

The images are stored

folder 1980 subfolder Q1,Q2,Q3,Q4 and file number xxx and people in the file

So a file for example is 1982_Q1_xxx_Kate Paul Granny.

In Windows explorer they appear in name order,

1982_Q1_001_Kate Paul Granny

1982_Q1_002_Mike Maggie Kate Paul

but in Lightroom they are semi random.

I cannot see how to arrange the files in Lightroom in the order that Windows Explorer shows them.

I think that there is a way, but it just eludes me

Use the menu command View->Sort

In Lightroom, you can have a different order than in Windows Explorer, there is no reason to think one mirrors the other.
