The viewed 'Sort Order' of files will depend on the App or Browser that you are using to view the files.

eg. In LrC you have several options- Capture Time, File Name, etc.

In Mac Finder you also have options for Sort Order- File Name, Date, etc.

YOU decide the Sort order in each App!

If you want to 'force' a specific Sort Order for Exported files, sort the originals first in LrC (eg. in a Collection by your 'Edited' criteria), then Export them with a Sequence Prefix ( 01, 02, 03 etc), thus the Sequence will sort as [Filename sort] in any app. (01_File1234, 02_File 4368, 03_File 4321, 04_File 1342, etc)
