Dear Kalele, The right way to do this is to load the files in the right order on the command line, so instead of using
splash *.dat Instead, use (for example): splash out????.dat out?????.dat Finally you could list the files in manual order by creating a splash.filenames file with the filenames listed one per line. Then you don’t need to give any filenames on the command line.
