If you want to sort correctly no matter wha, you should number the files as

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 Laurence!
That is probably the route I will have to go.

Rob Miller, Hello
I don't know that you can tweak Legacy but what I do is always 4 digit
numbers. That is 0001, 0002, 0010, 0020, 0100, 0200 etc. This always keeps them
