Sort all files in one folder

Could it be possible to sort all of files in a folder and add z- to the name of the sorted file?
The names of the files to be sorted before the files are sorted

Code:
AC-FOUR-136-ZEL2-ZECO-111
AC-SEVEN-56-ZEL4-ZECO-68
AC-NINE-994-ZEL3-ZECO-811
AC-ONE-4-ZEL1-ZECO-544


The names of the files to be sorted after the files are sorted

Code:
z-AC-FOUR-136-ZEL2-ZECO-111
z-AC-SEVEN-56-ZEL4-ZECO-68
z-AC-NINE-994-ZEL3-ZECO-811
z-AC-ONE-4-ZEL1-ZECO-544

I'm using Windows 7 , Unix subsystems for Windows and C Shell

Thank you!
