It has nothing to do with clothes, and not really a grammar mistake, but more of a mistake all computers make.

When you have build houses, like 1 to 10, you will see this on the building page:
House 1
House 10
House 2
House 3
etc...
House 9

Would it be possible to have to 10 come after the 9? It is not really annoying or a spelling error but it would look better.
IRL in streets the 1 and 10 would be a little further away from each other :) instead of be next to each other :wink:

ONly way to do it would be for people to not call "House 1" "House 1", but instead make it "House 01". From what I can see, it's done by the normal order, and when you think about it, House 10 does come before House 2. (when ordering things. NOt when building them!)

Yeah, buildings (And vehicles) are sorted in alphabetical and numerical order.

"10" comes before "9" (Because, 9 becomes "90", in order for both numbers to be the same length and be evaluated. So then, 10 is smaller than 90.)

The order will be: (In houses between 1 to 50, as an example)

1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 2, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 3, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 4, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 5, 50, 6, 7, 8, 9.

I don't really think there is a way to change it, unless the houses were sorted manually (Eww!).

This is not possible with a reasonable amount of effort.
