I've always wondered why, if all documents are linked to Legacy, the
file name needs to be complex. I just number my documents consecutively
- though I lead with DOC. If I'm looking for John Smith's birth

I have currently have the scans of my documents named in a manner similar to
below. Windows recognizes that 2 comes after 1, 3 after 2, etc. So all is
well.
MS1 - file name.tif
MS2 - file name.tif
MS3 - file name.tif
MS100 - file name.tif
MS200 - file name.tif

This is not an ideal answer, but it might be your most workable one.
Consider what your highest number might be. Let's assume for this
purpose it will be 45819 at the very, very most.
To get it to sort correctly, pad it. That number is five digits, so make
sure each number is five

Is there a way to tweak Legacy to get the Load Picture window to sort
Number Portion numerically like the File ID Assistant window does with
File ID's?
Rob, Sort or file your number by:
ms1
ms2
ms3
This will keep everything numerically. Just start with enough zeros in

Sorry I don't know the answer, but I am curious what
other information you include in the file name. I am
just starting to file my documents using the MRIN
system, and need to come up with a good electronic

If you want the files to sort correctly you will need to use something like
this:
MS0001 - file name.tif
MS0010 - file name.tif
MS0100 - file name.tif
MS0002 - file name.tif
MS0020 - file name.tif
MS0200 - file name.tif

filenames and then find
