Numbered list higher than 99 in InDesign

Hi. I have a numbered reference list in InDesign (using a paragraph style) and once I get above 99, there's a large tab after the number. I can't figure out how to make this the same as the numbers below 99. Thanks for any help you can provide!

You need to adjust you spacing, open the paragraph style pane, go to bullets, with preview check, adjust you alignments till you see the alignment the way you wan it. You indents need adjustment

Increase your left indent and then change the first line indent to the same value but a negative value. It's going to add more space to all of the numbers but this is required to allow for the 3 digit numbers. Otherwise you could create a second set of styles for the 3 digit numbers and apply that style to only those numbers.
