It seems that prefixes of filenames with -- are handled in a special way (menu parser mode?) so that sort by name is wrong.
It can be reproduced by creating several empty textfiles in a folder and sort them by name gives wrong sort order for --prefixed names like following:
_A.txt
_B.txt
A.txt
--A.txt
B.txt
--B.txt
Files sorted wrong if names prefixed with --
Re: Files sorted wrong if names prefixed with --
If you change to Binary sort, you'll probably get the order you are expecting. (in this case at least)

Compare with the sorting of these files in Windows Explorer (which can only do Natural sorting): It's the same.
