The naming of similar named files is a bin inefficient in dolphin righ now
for example if i've got:

similar_named_file_that_it_is _just_like_the_others_001
similar_named_file_that_it_is _just_like_the_others_002
similar_named_file_that_it_is _just_like_the_others_003

dolphin would show (in detailes view):

similar_named_file_that_it_is _just...
similar_named_file_that_it_is _just...
similar_named_file_that_it_is _just...

And with a lot of files like this, it's difficult to know wich one is the one I'm looking for
A first step would be to show the start and end of the files:

similar_named_file...others_001
similar_named_file...others_002
similar_named_file...others_003

yet you may have something like
This_is_a_complicate_name_001_It's_large_too
This_is_a_complicate_name_002_It's_large_too
This_is_a_complicate_name_003_It's_large_too

priorize showing the difference between file names would be the best, but This may be difficult and may have an impact in performance on big directories.

I think you will have to make the window bigger.
or maybe make a directory "similar_named_file_that_it_is _just_like_the_others" and then put all the files 1,2,3,...
all in this directory.
