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.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Sort Number Portion Numerically?

 
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!

Rob
