I have had this issue as I use Preview to present my graphics while lecturing. I have not got the full answer on how Preview sorts, because it surprises me every time I prepare a new lecture. In general I number 01 followed by a space followed by the source filename, such a what text it came from or whatever. Works out like this:
This lists correctly in Preview, which seems to get confused if I leave out the space or add too many decimal places. I never go more than thirty or so 'slides', but if i got to 99 I'd add a leading zero all the was down.
Also, when you renumber, Preview will get confused if you just close the window - you need to Quit the re-open to make Preview forget the last order for that folder.
