image order

I was wondeing how ImageJ (or Java I think) handles file names. Usually 
my files are named in a way that the priority is from left to right for 
the alphabetical order, ie 051121.tif is before 051221 and after 051120 
(using reversed YYMMDD dates as exemples). It works well with windows, 
but with the ImageJ "Import Image Sequence" command the priority for 
alphabetical order seems reversed for the order of the slices in the 
obtained stack... Can somebody tell me how are filenames sorted in ImageJ ?

Close to this subject, is there a way or a macro to sort a stack based 
on the labels of the slices ?

Thanks

Christophe

Subsidiary question : how are filenames and subsequent opened images 
sorted with multiple images opening in photoshop (prior to CS2) ? That's 
neither forward nor backward (considering thefilename string) 
alphabetical order...
