I have several files and folders are numbered as: 01 02 03 etc.
Many of the files and folders were numbered years ago.

Today I noticed that all of the numbers are out of sequence for some reason.
One example from a top to bottom list is: 02 01 03 05 04 06

This out-of-sequence numbering applies to top down lists for both folders and files within folders.
The "Arrange by" options don't seem to make any difference to the current out of order numbers.

This is for a Mac Mini desktop computer (late 2014), OS X El Capitan version 10.11.6
I can't identify any specific actions on my part that caused this sudden change in number sequences.

Re-starting the computer didn't help.
Thanks for any tips on solving this issue.
