Smarter sort

coolio · 2008-04-19, 02:40 AM

I have a bunch of files with 3-4 digit numbers in the name. The simple sorting of files results in this:

[HTML]video.1001.avi
video.1002.avi
video.1003.avi
video.1004.avi
video.1005.avi
video.1006.avi
video.1007.avi
video.1008.avi
video.1009.avi
video.101.avi
video.1010.avi
video.1011.avi
video.1012.avi
video.1013.avi
video.1014.avi
video.1015.avi
video.1016.avi
video.1017.avi
video.1018.avi
video.1019.avi
video.102.avi
video.1020.avi
video.1021.avi
video.103.avi
video.104.avi
...[/HTML]

It would be fantastic if GB-PVR had a smarter sort.

why not just rename the 3 digit ones with a 0?

There are progams that may be able to automate this for you by using regular expressions.
