Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

When downloading Udemy courses I am using the suggested output template of:

# Download Udemy course keeping each chapter in separate directory under MyVideos directory in your home
$ youtube-dl -u user -p password -o '~/MyVideos/%(playlist)s/%(chapter_number)s - %(chapter)s/%(title)s.%(ext)s' https://www.udemy.com/java-tutorial/

However this places all the videos into a folder and they are listed in alphabetical order. Is there an output template tag that pulls the lecture number so that videos will be listed in their correct order?
