Plus can't do math :P by .blade// on 04-03-2005 at 10:23 PM
I split up a song, and instead of plus ordering it
"clip 1"
"clip 2"
"clip 3"
etc
it orders it
"clip 1"
"clip 10"
"clip 11"
"clip 12"
"clip 2"

Well I know, but still. "AA" comes before "A", but "11" doesn't come before "1"

and 'A' comes before 'AA'
RE: Plus can't do math :P by ShawnZ on 04-03-2005 at 11:56 PM
its alphanumerical order, which means it sorts filenames by thier ascii codes (but not case sensitive)
if there were 36 letters, 1 through Z, you would have alphanumerical sort. E.G.:
1
100
11
12
125
13
14
2
2000
2020
22
A
AA
AB
AC

* -> I mean the fact that 12 goes before or after 2
quote:actually plus does nothing but tell windows to sort them; so Windows is the only who is sorting things

"clip 1"
"clip 10"

"clip 12"
"clip 2"
that solves the problem
RE: Plus can't do math :P by haydos on 04-04-2005 at 04:51 PM

"clip a"
"clip b"
"clip c"

yes only 24, one for each of the 26 letters in the alphabet
most cases you wouldnt need more than 26 anyway
RE: Plus can't do math :P by TheBlasphemer on 04-04-2005 at 05:43 PM
Why don't you just call em:
Clip 001
Clip 002
Clip 003
etc...

Space comes before anything else in the alphabet according to Windows.

as someone said, Windows uses to sort texts acording to their ascii codes (without caring the caSE). The ascii code for the space is 32, so it goes first than the number 0, whose code is 48. The letter A has the code 65, etc...
RE: Plus can't do math :P by ShawnZ on 04-05-2005 at 09:04 PM
ascii codes 65 through 90 are just sorted as 97 through 122 respectivally. (to prevent case sensitive filtering.) it could be the other way around though
