- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

until you reach 9
then you create folder 10 and suddenly 10 is placed between 1 and 2
so you have to go back and add a leading 0 on every folder from 1-9

Depends on the OS! I know on Windows 10, it will not sort it lexicographically but rather treat it as an integer like you intended. Pretty sure on all my Linux installs, whether KDE or XFCE, they sort as you say though.
I think once you get burned once you build these things into your habits. Keep them even when the whole process has been revamped. Maybe that's just me.
Typically, whatever I'm doing I have a history of doing before, and can anticipate whether I'll need <10, <100, etc. folders, and name accordingly.
I also name my month folders "01 - January" and my date folders YYYY.MM.DD so they sort properly. I really hate when people use MM.DD.YY in folder names--or even worse M.D.YY. Fuck those people.
Or you learn hex and can go to 15 with one digit.
Who says I can't use hexatrigesimal?
Nah, too much effort

(Basically, when you get to 10, instead of using 10, add a 1 after 9 to make it 91, then continue with 92. Instead of 100, make 99 to 991, then continue with 992, etc...
Wow, this is great! Works perfectly if you only care about the order of the files. However, if you wanted e.g. the 238th file or know which index file 99993 is, that's a bit more of a headache.
You'll also run into filename length limits quite quickly, since the number of files scales linearly with the number of characters in the filename, compared to exponentially with the 01 method.
Um...
Okay so if you ever run out of character spaces, create another folder. Don't rename it yet. Select all folders, and then un-select your new folder. Move then all those folders to the new folder. Name the new folder "1", then create a folder "2". Any new folders should be inside this folder "2". The original folders are now referred to as "Level 1 Inception", your new folders "1" and "2" are now "Level 2 Inception"
Whenever you run out of name length for your "Level 2" folders, you do the same trick and now you have 3 levels of Inception.
You could do this infinitely (until your system crashes).
New Folder (2)
What about New Folder (1)?
We don't speak of 'New Folder (1)'
7-Zip is better and isn't shitty nagware
Nagware, oh my sides that's top 10 funniest things

SPEAK
Now that I think of it my folder structure is so fucked Here's the picture: I have a 3tb SSD, and in that I have five folders, let's focus on the folder named ' archive'. I was so lazy that instead of filtering through my old shit so that archive is neat and tidy, I just copy pasted it in. For your information, the shit I copy pasted into archive has the same folder names as one folder upwards, so there is basically two exact schemas just a folder down
And in the archive folder, there is another archive folder. It's filled with garbage.
Oh, besides my SSD, the exact same folder has its copy in my own home folder and they're both pinned, but they don't mirror so I sometimes have to check the archive, sometimes the home, sometimes the one that stores the archive
Hahahahahahahahabababa
Me being the way I am, if we worked together in shared folders, I would die.
My current colleagues already somewhat annoy me by not properly version numbering so you have no clue what file in a unsorted folder is the latest, or naming a folder with a date like: "14 Feb 24" like some hecking heathens.
YYYY.MM.DD (or other delimiters) or gtfo.
This concludes my 2 cents only partially related to yours haha
