300 files in one folder, but showing in the 'wrong' order

300 files in one folder, but showing in the 'wrong' order

I am new to this.
I have uploaded 300 pdf files into folder and I created a link so that I can share this folder with my friends/customers.
My concern is the following:
When I look at this folder myself (while logged in) and click on Time created I will them in the order they were uploaded.
I want my friends/customers also to see the 300 files in the order they were uploaded (or in the order they were originally created, wich is the same).
However when clicking on the link and entering the folder (for the outside viewers who are not logged in because they do not have Dropbox accounts), the 300 files will not be shown in that order. They will be shown alphabetically which in my particular case makes zero sense.
Any ideas please? Or do I really need to rename all 300 files (I hope not).
Thank you.

For a shared link there isnt a way to re-sort other than by name - sorry.
