Weldment profile sorting all wrong!!!

I'm not sure if a Windows update did this or not, but our weldment profiles sort differently, now... Seems to have happened the week before last.
In this example, all of the 0.25 x 2, 2.25,2.50,2.75 used to be all together sequentially.
Now the nominal sizes are together, and then the fractional are down lower.

Of course, our VAR blames Windows...

Try going to the configuration tab, right-clicking on the file name at the top, and going to Tree Order. Try out different options. If neither of the first ones do what you want (and I don't know if they will), try the Manual option, which I know will be tedious, or add a zero in your configuration names where needed so they'll sort correctly.

What you're looking for is called numerical sorting.
Which sorting method happens in a File Explorer window?
Is it like your OP image?
Perhaps Windows sorting got change somehow.
Windows is numerical by default, I believe and it's a reg edit to change it.
