Hi

I have a lot of PDFs in a directory.
I'd like to sort them in alphabetical orders. However, they appear
quite randomly.
Does anybody know why?

If you're referring to the details list in Windows Explorer right pane, you may have them being sorted by Size, Type, etc.

To sort them alphabetically, click the Name at the top of the column in the right pane of Windows Explorer. Click again and it'll reverse the order (Z-A). Clicking the title of the various columns will sort by that data.

Hi
On top of your directory there are some columnes like "Name", Size; Type and
so on. Choose "Name" and I think your problem are solved.

I forgot to mention that I had already done it.
However, still random and irregular. They are all PDFs.
weird, isn't it?

Do you have a utility aboard that can print a directory listing
so we can view the file names?

I will type some of them:

01717709
3818353
04072527
4197006
04294108
10283164

It seems when the file names begin with number, they aren't sorted all
right.

6th grade arithmetic!! Delete the leading 0...04072527 apples is 254174
more apples
then 3818353 apples. The numbers are in the correct order ascending.
