I am having a bit of a problem figuring out how I can get these photos to go in numeric ascending order.

Can anyone tell me what I am missing, not being a programmer (see attached)!

Thanks.

Jim

Add leading zeros so that all the leading numbers have the same number of digits. (Be sure to plan forward; if you'll have more than 99 photos in an album, you'll eventually need three digits.)
Add spaces after the numbers, before the words.
Edit album > Sort by Title > Ascending.

Thank you. I originally I had three digit numbers as that works in other programs but it wouldn't work. It would go 1,10,11,12,2,2o, etc., or something like that. So I endedup using letters. But the one thing I missed was leaving the space. I thuoght you couldn't leave a space in file names. BUt if it works I'm gonna do it!:)

Thanks again.

(1) The space is in the title, not necessarily the filename.
(2) The leading zeros are more important than the spaces.

Without zeros: 1, 10, 11, 12, ... 19, 2, 20, ...

With zeros: 001, 002, 003, ... 009, 010, 011, ...
