Default sheet orderings

I want to automatically sort my sheets out in a workbook,
eg
sheet 1 is named "Msowdon - 101/1" - the first entry
sheet 2 "Msowdon - 101/4" - the fourth entry
sheet 3 "msowdon - 101/10" - the tenth entry
sheet 4 "Msowdon - 101/12" - the twelth entry

if i add a new sheet for the 11th job in this area the
sheet will be called "Msowdon - 101/11" and should come
after 101/10 and before 101/12, but after 101/4.

The reference 101/11 is found from an entry on the sheet,
and i can get excel to check the sheet reference and sort
the sheets back in to order. My problem is this...

Can I get excel to sort out in respect to the second
number, so 101/4 will come before 101/11?

I have tried changing the cells catagory in the format
section, and it's not possible to have a zero in front of
the 4 ie 101/04 as it is part of a much larger system.


if anyone has encountered this, or has any solutions i
would be eternally grateful.

TIA

Jon
