    What specifically do you want to do with these files? Delete them? Move them somewhere else?

    With a large number of files, it might be easier with Powershell.

    cd c:\Your\Data\Folder
Get-ChildItem *thumb* | Sort-Object -Property Name
Get-ChildItem *thumb* | Sort-Object -Property Name -Descending
Get-ChildItem *thumb* | Sort-Object -Property LastWriteTime
Get-ChildItem *thumb* | Remove-Item -whatif
