it's not so much a personal preference, than a fact of life, that it's 
better when alphanumeric sorting and numeric sorting coïncide. Hence the 
leading zeroes.

way too many things get sorted like 1, 10, 11, ..., 19, 2, 20, 21, ... or 
worse (three digits...) and it's usually in situations where you can't 
control the sorting and the sorting isn't very DWIM. (the ls command and 
all Finders and File Managers I've seen).

It's much easier to add leading digits than to change folder sort order.
