Order lists by filename alphabetically

Post by fuhoi »

Hi,

I'm using FileBot v3.62 on Windows 7.

Currently the "rename" tab does not display "original files" or "new names" in any order.
Please order alphabetically by one of these lists.
In the future it would be great to have a load of options for sorting but for now it would be great if a sort on one of these lists could be in the next releases.

Please see attachment for greater detail.

Cheers,
fuhoi

It's adding files in order according to the Drag-n-Drop data. If u drop a folder, then the filesystem should list things in alphabetical order by default. If you drop files directly from Explorer just sort by name first.

For other people who search for this issue on Google like me, assuming it's already sorted, you need to drop and drop it from the first item selected. If you select all and the list is in the correct order but click and drag from a random one into FileBot, it will not be in order.

Newer versions of FileBot will (on Windows only) ignore the native drag-n-drop file list order and enforce alphanumeric sort order of dropped files.
