Display Options Sorting via "Reversed File Name"

Postby spacev2 » Thu Jan 18, 2024 4:55 am

I find situations where files have numbering in the incorrect position in the file name (for example at the end of the file) which makes it impossible to sort the files in ascending or descending numerical order. I am wondering if it's possible to implement a sorting algorithm that can sort files in reverse (from end to start) ?

Thanks

You can change displayed sort order by clicking on a column header.

You can set a Renaming Option to Rename in Reverse Order (which is a different type of "reverse").

Depending on your data set, the above might or might not help.


With JavaScript Renaming, I would think (?) you should be able to parse out only the numeric parts & sort solely on them?
