Windows orders filenames by ASCII character order, so "1" and "13" are considered closer together than "1" and "2". If you name the files "01"..."36", your problem should go away.

I think David just meant that the order of filenames looks random if you don't know about the ASCII sorting. Once you understand that, it's easy to get the sorting right with leading zeroes.

Re: filmscanners: Saving Scans
David, I can't stress enough the need to create and organise folders and file names. I stores the images from my digital camera in the form of... 01-Garage,jpg 02-Cat.jpg et cetera This method does have the upper limit of 99 images, so if you're going to go above that on a regular basis, then add another leading zero to give a name of... 001-Garage.jpg I also use this method for Negs & Slides, taking the number from the film frame. I've taken this one step further with my Directories/Folders, the method being... DigitalCamera 1999 A-January B-February . L-December 2000 A-January ... and so on Putting the letter in front of the month keeps them in chronological order aswell so that April does not appear at the top of the list. You could of course use 01-January -to- 12-December to achieve the same effect.

Re: filmscanners: Saving Scans
David, you filenames might also appear to be a little random when you initially write the name or move a file from one folder to another. To clear this up just run Windows Explorer and view a folder that has your images in it and click on Name at the top. This will re-aarange your filenames in alphabetical or reverse alphabetical order. Also clicking on the headers of the other columns will alter the apparent order of the file names.

Re: filmscanners: Saving Scans
> Save them as 2 digit numbers. 01, 02 03, etc Yes, this is what I do : assign each film a reference number (which relates to a database record), and then number each frame with the frame number on the film rebate. eg 1234_03 Regards Tony Sleep http://www.halftone.co.uk - Online portfolio & exhibit; + film scanner info & comparisons

I've been using a similar method on the PC but without any punctuation; date in reverse order followed by a film number followed by a frame number viz: "20001201 0101". I still have to find a program to track all the pictures, since a naming convention like that clearly doesn't tell you what's in the picture! Rob Rob Geraghty [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wordweb.com

Anyway, one of it's main features is that one can select all photos in a directory and auto-rename them with the date/time they were taken (using the data in the photo, NOT the date of the file). It supports various digital camera formats, including the Nikon 950 that I use (actually my wife's camera). It also does it in such a fashion that the files "sort" in time-order. So it doesn't index the contents (neither does the camera's numerical filenames), but a glance does tell exactly when the photo was taken. Mike K.

Are you adding a leading 0 to the single digit numbers? Example: 01, 02, ..., 09, 10, etc? I don't understand what your comment about windows means, since you control what the file names are, right?
