Explorer sorting

[radleyboo]

I have a folder filled with mp3 files which i am organizing. The columns from left to right are as follows:
name, artist, album, size, length.

When I sort by artist, the name column is not alphabetically sorted(neither a-z nor z-a, just jumbled) , but the album column is. is this the norm? Common sense tells me that the name column would automatically be alphabetized unless i sort that specific column. Any Advice?
