I have a batch that create shortcut based on the order of files, the problem is that when it comes to numbers he presents the following problem when passing the number 100.<

To use
cscript //nologo script.vbs sort {n|d|t|tt} {a|d} startcolumn endcolumn < input.txt > output.txt
Options
n - extracts a number from the columns specified. Looks for the first number.
d - extracts a time or date from the columns specified. Looks for the first date.
t - extracts a text string including spaces from the columns specified.
tt - extracts a text string discarding leading and trailing spaces from the columns specified.
a - sorts acending
d - sorts decending
startcolumn - the starting column, the first character is column 1
endcolumn - the ending column

After much searching, I found the hybrid JScript/batch utility called REPL.BAT the dbenham and got what I wanted, based on my code the script is:
Del /q "Files\Files.ini">nul 2>&1
for /f "tokens=2 delims=:" %%F in (
'dir /b /a-d "%location-of-files%\*.*"^|Files\repl "^(\w+).*" "00000$1:$&" a^|Files\repl ".*(\d{5}:)" "$1"^|sort'
) do echo %%F >> Files\Files.ini
