SOLIDWORKS Template Sort Order

SOLIDWORKS SW General

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

To top up abit, the templates is sorted pretty well in Window File Explorer…

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
