Photos app Albums: Sorting by Name

I have 280+ albums all named by the year/season and currently sort them manually.


Question: If I title my albums by year/season (ie: 2022 Fall) will the Photos app 'Sort by Name' feature recognize numbers and put them in numerical order and then look for letters for alphabetical order? Just wanted to ask before I execute this on my 280+ albums in case it didn't work and I would have to re-sort them all manually

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.0

Why not do a simple one off test before you commit yourself to 280+....(?)
