batch - What's the behaviour when opening a group of files at once?

I selected a group of .odt files, right-clicked the first one and selected open. I would have thought they would open in alphabetical order, but as the second screenshot shows, they're not - the one with "2014-11-13" opens before "2013-10-23". And then when I select the whole group and press Enter, they open in order - and sometimes they don't. What's the behaviour when you right-click and open for a batch of files? Does it start with the one you selected and pick random files in the list to open next?

What software can open SGML files. I have some documentation files, in *.sgml format. If i open in some text editor it opens along with the embedded meta data, without interpreting it.
Using which viewer can i view these sgml files - On windows as well as Linux?
thank you,

From What Is the File Extension Sgm?
Programs that can save files in the .sgm format and also can open .sgm files include Panorama SGML viewer, Adobe Framemaker, and Corel WordPerfect Office X4. These programs are only available on Windows-based operating systems.
An old version of the Panorama SGML viewer can be found in here, but it dates from Windows 3.1 and as it is mainly meant as plugin to browsers that no longer exist, this free version refuses to open files.
The best you could do is download trial versions of the other products and try to convert the SGML files to some more modern format, in the hope that they still support that format.

4 year old topic. I found a Linux tool docbook2html using the code below it creates an html file for each sgml file.
docbook2html -u filename.sgml
I had to first install docbook-utils for my particular ubuntu distribution using:
apt-get install docbook-utils
