I have a habit of downloading content to my machine if it is heavy enough.
I recently started reading a comic series and comics are heavy enough (the last chapter I downloaded weighed 60mb! Insane! Some videos don't weigh as much).
But, when I read them from zip file (and chapters are images compressed into a zip), my comic reader (seeneva) messes up the page order. The reason is that my zip places them in a bad order (if I check inside it goes something like "pg 1", "page 10", "page 11", ..., "page 2", "page 3"...) and I don't know how to fix it.
I tried installing a different file manager than what went by default and it didn't help. What do I do?
How do you people read downloaded comics on your phones?

I download the images individually because I hate efficiency

I usually get a app that has a download feature. That way zip is in noway involved.

I don't quite understand. Did you unzip the pages before reading or did you read it from the zip file directly?

Also I don't think it's zip that messes the order from how you described the problem. The problem should be how the pages are named.

Try renaming to pg 001, 002, ..., pg 010, ..., pg 100, etc.

Otherwise windows and most programs will put pg 1 and pg 10 behind each other.

Idk how broadly you use the word file manager, but whatever creates the zip file decides the order. If you download a zipped file, your local file manager won't change it. In addition, similar formats that I am familiar with usually don't guarantee any particular kind of order, so it would be up to the reader to sort appropriately.
Don't know whether Seeneva does that. Perhaps ask, or try another reader.
