When having directories with long uuid-like names, it seems the sort isn't working properly.
See the following screenshot:
For example, these three directories appear to be out of order:
6f1a8aba-0c86-4fa2-89ba-7daf9b916c53
16da19af-7b09-4c30-9a63-7b7545421296
66f0a294-0db1-4c11-8ccf-260a6c4cdeb5
I would expect:
16da19af-7b09-4c30-9a63-7b7545421296
66f0a294-0db1-4c11-8ccf-260a6c4cdeb5
6f1a8aba-0c86-4fa2-89ba-7daf9b916c53
What is the rule when sorting by name in this case ?

Note that you want to do the opposite and turn off numeric name sorting.
To explain further, with numeric sorting enabled, the highlighted example in the screenshot above is sorting the folders as:
"4" (then "caf...") [first selected folder]
"6" (then "b29...")
"6" (then "f1a...")
"16" (then "da1...)
"66" (then "f0a...")
"84" (then "d5d...")
"86" (then "d40...")
"90" (then "bae...")
"577" (then "fc9...")
"42155" (then "b2f...") [second selected folder]
This is the option you want to turn off:
(See Folder Formats: Quick Guide for how to turn it off for all folders.)
