Legacy panel name sorting option

My file comp naming was used to look like picture 1, it was easy to select and export all of them at once, now i have to manually pick them all 1 by 1, and it's tedious and completely broke my workflow. Imagine manually picking 250 comp per episode. Before this I just shift clicked all 250 comp and render overnight.

 

Problem: I had to import PL_101_SQ01_SC001.mov(animation) and PL_101_SQ01_SC001-01.psd(background art) into "PL_101_SQ01_SC001" comp which i finally exported to video. Now my final comp and background comps are all mixed.  So i cant update after effects to new version, i'm stuck with AE 23 version for a long time because of this.

 

Solution, make file name sorting an option like in photoshop. Enable legacy panel name sorting
