I am just now reading some old messages on Legacy UG and I am not
understanding something basic -- why would anybody have a picture filename
that is just a number? I sort pictures by name of subject--and type of
subject matter. Obviously I'm missing something, including the beginning of
this discussion.
Thanks,
Pat

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Sort Number Portion Numerically?
Rob:
This is not a Legacy problem. It is a Windows / computer feature.
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
MS0003 - file name.tif
MS0030 - file name.tif
The trick is to use the same number of digits each time. Your name scheme
basically uses a blank after the digit and that is why it gets sorted
early.

I have currently have the scans of my documents named in a manner similar

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!
