If you can't pad the numbers, I think what you need is a natural sort...kinda the way php does it: http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.natsort.php
Kerry's option may also work well, and faster than an implementation of how php does it...especially if you have to code such a thing in lingo. Lingo does a pretty good job messing around with bits of text. ~Mathew > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of g schafer > Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2003 10:53 AM > To: Lingo > Subject: <lingo-l> BaFileList() and .sort > > > So I'm using baFileList with a list of files as such: > > slide1.jpg, slide2.jpg, slide3.jpg......slide10.jpg, slide11.jpg > > When I do a sort on this list I always get > slide1.jpg, slide10.jpg, slide11.jpg, slide2.jpg > > I thought sorting it would flip it all in order? > > Any ideas? > > My first thought is going 1 --> x and creating a new list > with each entry > being made at it's number....but that seems like a crazy workaround. > > I can't renumber the files ie 001...
