Import Folder just imports the elements inside the = folder and=20 does not sequence them.=20
 
if you want AE to import a folder as sequence you could drag the=20 folders  from the Windows explorer/Finder
to your project window and it will import its content as a=20 sequence.
 
it does not recognize sub-folders so you need to drag the bottom=20 hierarchy of folders but you could choose as many as you like.
 
hope that helps.
