It says the folders are evaluated in alphabetical order, but actually it's evaluating them in natural sort[1][2]. This makes sense since Windows also displays folders in natural sort order.

Interesting, recently I did a test to see if the file system sorts hexadecimal numbers correctly as prefixes. It does with `less`, but looking at the definition for "natural sort order", perhaps other tools or algorithms work only with base-10.
