Sorting issue

[pdworkman]

Any idea why 55 is sorting before 53?

[teoryan2]

How about trying SORT file.name ASC ?

[pdworkman]

That sorts 55 correctly, but uses ascii sort order so that I get 1, 10, 11, 12 . . . 5, 51, 52 . . . I can pad with zeroes, but I still wonder why my original sort doesn't sort properly.

Links sort by the full path by default, not just by file name; are all of those files in the same folder?

If so, that's kind of wierd. I've had a couple of reports of bad sorting order which I haven't investigated too much yet.

[pdworkman]

Yes, all in the draft folder. No subfolders.

Something about my sort algorithm is clearly broken!

I figured out this week when I wrote a scene out of order that it is sorting on creation or modification date, not alpha. Pam P.D.
