Do anyone know what is the sort order when selecting a template for a new document?

My initial thought is that it is sort using ASCII Order... hence i planned in different separator (- and _) in the template name...
But that dont seem to be the case?

*I had "censored" the image to keep it confidential but the censored area has the same text
Eg: Lorem-A4-ASME, Lorem_B-ASME, Lorem-A3-ASME

After some digging... it seem that this is somehow related to our PDM system (Windchill)

The files in the PDM library is not able to sort properly... but after exporting to a local drive... it can be sorted properly
