They are possibly sorted by date (most recent at top, usually)... What happens if you click on the "Name" column header?

Behaves as expected for me. I assume that in the Windows explorer, the files are listed in the expected order? Because it could be that the space at the end of "Capitulo" isn't always a plain space.

Also, if you click on the "Name" header, you should get and indication that it is used as the sort key:
