Sort by Numbering

I have a problem with Zotero's standard sorting function. It is problematic when dealing with a large number of related documents that should be shown in a certain order, for example parts of a book.

I tried to solve this by sorting by title and putting numbers into the title. Unfortunately Zotero does not detect numbers with two or more digits.
Thus the sorting will become inconsistent like this:
1
10
11
12
2
3
4
...

Number detection in the title would be great but an even better addition would be if documents could be assigned a number-metadata like tracks in a music player. This way it would be much easier to sort them.
