I'm wondering if there is a way to sort files within a folder by file name
other than alphabetical/numerical. My dilemma is that I will have folders
that will have 4 digit numbers that will be always preceeded by an "S" or a
"K". The numbers will also be followed by various letters, starting at
A,B,C, on and so on. For instance, examples of files would look like this:
S7054A; S7054B; S7054C; K7055A; K7055B;
S7056A..... I would like to have the actual 4 digit number (not including
the prefix letter) in numerical order, as shown in the example. If I sort by
name alone, it puts all of the "K" files first in numerical order, and then
the "S" files in numerical order after that. In essence, I would like the
files sorted numerically by the SECOND character in the file name. IS there
a way to do this? I will have MANY folders that will contain files such as
these. I am using Windows XP professional 2002.
