System Information
Operating system: NixOS 20.09 (Nightingale) x86_64
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 940MX

Blender Version
Broken: since at least 2.91.0 as of https://download.blender.org/release/Blender2.91/, still broken on 2.93.1 Release Candidate, 7edbe463d2 (splash screen doesn't give more detailed info)

Short description of error

Image sequences added to the VSE play in the order the files are displayed in the file picker. (Reverse order plays sequence backwards and sort by size plays the sequence in an order depending on file sizes) Since at least 2.92.0 as of https:*download.blender.org/release/Blender2.92/ this plays frames in reverse order by default (the default display and sorting parameters seem to have been changed) Seems similar to https:*developer.blender.org/T73930

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Pick Video Editing from the splash screen, hit Shift A to add an image sequence, navigate to folder and select everything with A. Sort files by size and/or in reverse. Import frames and play sequence.

I believe this to be a bug and not intended behavior. Thanks for taking a look and have a nice day.

I can confirm this, but will have to check if this is bug or intended. It has probably worked like this for ages if not since forever.

I will classify this as known issue, there was also feature request for adding image sequences in more simplified was as for example in Movie Clip Editor, where it is enough to add 1 file to load whole sequence.
