InDesign doesn't sort numbers at the beginning of filenames naturally when placing multiple files, instead opting for alphabetical
InDesign CC 2020, 15.1.2 (Mac, but possibly Windows, I can't test)
Place multiple image files where filenames start with increasing numbers (e.g. page numbers).
Expected: files get placed in order 1, 2, 3, ..., 10, 11, ..., 100, 101, etc.
Actual: files get placed in order 1, 10, 100, ..., 2, 20, 200, 201, 3, ..., etcIt doesn't follow the OS implementation of natural order sorting, so placing a lot of images doesn't match the Finder. It instead uses alphabetical sorting, which is counterintuitive.

some pages are transparent in Preview Mode
In preview mode, most empty pages are white (as they should be), but some are transparent -- the pasteboard color theme shows through.

Packaging a server-located file fails
Since updating to 15.1.2 I am unable to package a piece of work which is saved on our server - "Indesign cannot access..."
Upon testing, package works fine if the piece of work is saved locally on my mac, but fails for any server based work, which unfortunately is where all of my work is saved. This has happened before on a previous update quite a while ago, but you fixed the issue, so would appreciate it if it could be fixed again. Thanks.1 vote -
Arabic exported to EPUB (Fixed Layout) doesn't show properly
• InDesign 15.1.2 / Mac OS 10.15.6
• Create an InDesign document with Arabic content. Apply any Arabic font.
• When exporting to EPUB (Fixed Layout) we should see the Arabic text appear in the epub viewer in similar manner as it shows in InDesign document.

Crash when continuing to place text from Word
Hello.
When I try to continue to place text from any Word document Indesign crashes. It actually won't crash by "itself", it just stops working.
I have followed the steps you outlined here: https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/indesign/kb/submit-crash-reports.html#Howtosubmitcrashreports
to submit a crash report. However, since I have to Force quit it I cannot get the report crash dialogue.

To identify the cause of this issue, we had started our investigation with the aim to resolve it. You might have also received an email from us seeking more details to help in our investigation.
We’ve concluded our investigation and came up with the finding: Either the issue is fixed in the latest release of InDesign or the issue was intermittent in nature at the time of its reporting and is not reproducible now.
We recommend you upgrade to the latest version of InDesign 2023(v18.2.1.455) as it is more robust and contains a lot of bug fixes.
We seek your support in our continual effort to improve InDesign.

Master pages populate page panel in wrong order
When dragging more than one master page to the pages panel, the masters populate in descending order instead of ascending order (for example, Masters A, B, C populate in pages panel as C, B, A.)
I'm able to consistently replicate this error on two different computers running different versions (INDD 15.0.3 and 15.1.1)

Effects Pallet is constantly disappearing from InDesign
I don't know why, often after a restart of InDesign and sometimes while I'm using it the Effects Pallet disappears and no matter how many times I use the Windows> Effects menu item and it's shortcut Cmd + Shift + F10 I will not appear. It also isn't in the sidebars. I end up having to go through a bunch of preset workspaces until it turns up and then rebuild the workspace.
Big waste of my time.

PDF with Identity-H encoded fonts not rendering in 2020
PDFs with certain Identity-H encoded fonts do not display in InDesign 2020 (Windows, v 15.1.2), but work fine in InDesign 2019.
The issue seems to be font encoding related – InDesign 2020 doesn’t like the Museo Sans 500 (and some other OpenType) fonts being embedded into the PDF using the Identity-H encoding. If the encoding is changed to ANSI encoding, then the PDFs render fine.
Preflighting the PDF shows the problem fonts as Type 0.
Conversion of the PDF using Acrobat to PDF/X appears to rebuild the PDF in such a way as InDesign is able to render it (although…

PDF issue with WorkSans variable font
I'm getting a strange issue with the WorkSans static variable font when exporting a PDF. The font is from Google Fonts -- https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Work+Sans. The weight in the attached example is WorkSans Black. A strange overlap issue is happening in the crossbar of the A. The issue only seems to be occurring in that letterform. The only way I can seem to resolve this is by converting the font to outlines in InDesign, which is not ideal.

The Stroke Panel Table Cell Stroke picker box is adjusting other Workspace panels in its shared column
My saved workspace has the Stroke Panel at the top of a column of panels and when I create a table and click into it to change its stroke, the Table Cell Stroke picker in the Stroke Panel expands. When I click outside of the table and the Table Cell Stroke picker goes away, the panels that expanded collapse, but other panels below stay in place. If this is done repeatedly, the other panels' locations/sizes would be altered permanently needing the Workspace to be reset.
The video below shows what happens when the above described action is performed multiple times.…
