Naming convention for adding sequential stills?

I've been making montages of sequential stills, adding them by groups to the timeline. I name them using the convention "001_Photo.png, 002_Photo.png, 003_Photo.png, ...", etc. If I select all these numbered stills at once and add them to the timeline, they are dropped on there, for the most part, in order. However, I keep getting one photo that appears out of order at the beginning of the timeline (no logic to which one). This defeats the purpose of group selection/adding to timeline. What convention do you all use for naming your stills that you want to add AS A GROUP IN A CERTAIN ORDER to the timeline.

The problem is that the last file that your mouse touches before you add the group will be the one to be added first, then the rest added in order after that. I always click on the last file first, then Shift-Click on the first file, then drag this first file to the timeline.
