How to sort the column "name"?

Postby Marcelo N » Tue Apr 08, 2025 11:27 pm

Hello guys!

I can't set propperly the column "name". I mean, if you look the image attached, you will notice that under the file "Img 1990.png" should be "Img 2000.png" but there is "Img 200.png" insted. Under the file "Img 2190.png" there is "Img 220.png" and so on.
The way it is, I can't rename my files propperly.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Marcelo

You need to pad the numbers so it is 0200.

If the largest number is four digits, then the hundreds need to be prefixed with 0, tens prefixed with 00 and units prefixed with 000.

That's why you need to pad the numbers.

If you want to pad the numbers use Name (2) -> Pad Numbers.
