1) I don't see the link with semantic here
2) One easy way to solve your issue is to allow the user to sort the files by 'alphanumerical' or 'alphabetical' order.

The order is semantic - ordered by parsed and extracted meaning, rather than simply by what it *is*.

Wrong: what you have is a string and there is no only one way to parse it, so it's up to the user to select the correct way, usually the alphanumerical is the correct default but not always.
