The reason I thought it impossible is that file3.txt is an alpha-name, and you are asking it to consider part of it as numerical. Of course there may be macros that can recognise the numeric part and separate them. I just haven't come across them. Long habit has caused me to add the zeros, to make it easy. Anne
I know, it makes the process quite a bit more complicated. I'm still trying to remember bubble-sort and all it's relatives from my C class. Breaking the filename up into text-integer-text and sorting on THAT does not seem fun to program. But for the end user, it makes a huge difference. Still googling a way to do this in KDE. I want to be certain that there ISN'T a way before I file a bug there. Dotan Cohen http://lyricslist.com/lyrics/artist_albums/203/flock_of_seagulls_a.html http://what-is-what.com
