Hello,

i created e list of file like this into category A:

1_abc.txt
2_abc.txt
3_abc.txt
4_abc.txt
5_abc.txt
6_abc.txt
7_abc.txt
8_abc.txt
9_abc.txt
10_abc.txt

I sort incresing by title.

If i look into category A i see files with this order:
10_abc.tx
1_abc.txt
2_abc.txt
3_abc.txt
4_abc.txt
5_abc.txt
6_abc.txt
7_abc.txt
8_abc.txt
9_abc.txt

I try a different sort but also to put 10_abc.txt as last but i find it always as a First.

Could you help me.? :shock:

Try using alpha characters rather than numbers (a_abc.txt, b_abc.txt..aa_abc.txt, ab_abc.txt,..ba_abc.txt,..). Thinking the system is treating your numbers as text causing 10 to appear before 2 (first digit of the 10, 1 < 2).
