Numbered sorted names reset after 10
First bug with the new feature of the sort names, was sorting some games in my library that had way more than 10 games in the series and once I reached 10, it reset and didn't go below the 9th title

Rather than an actual bug, Steam is using alphabetical sorting, not natural sorting, so it's comparing character by character, and when it has to compare "COD 2" to "COD 13" and it reaches the numbers, it goes "oh, 1 is smaller than 2, so this one goes first". You can prevent it by writing it as "COD 02".

Yeah. It's the same system Windows and other OSs use. I do this when backing up music and other content.

This is not a bug, search is alphabetical and there are no plans to switch to a slower method. Use the "02"-style naming as suggested above for lists longer than 9.
