Many programs - including windows 2000 sorts MS1, MS100, MS2, MS200 etc.... If you want to sort correctly no matter wha, you should number the files as MS01, MS02, MS03, MS100, MS200 etc. By placing a leading zero as a place hold it will always sort correctly. If you plan on having more than 999 files then use 2 leading zeros.

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 MS300 - file name.tif MS1000 - file name.tif MS2000 - file name.tif MS3000 - file name.tif However, when trying to attach a file/picture to a Master Source, Legacy lists the files in this manner below. Trying to find the right one is a bit of a pain when dealing with a great number of files. MS1 - file name.tif MS100 - file name.tif MS1000 - file name.tif MS2 - file name.tif MS200 - file name.tif MS2000 - file name.tif MS3 - file name.tif MS300 - file name.tif MS3000 - file name.tif 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? Thanks!
