| Jan 8, 2013 at 18:17 | comment | added | skratch | @Hypnotoad they should come ordered with the caveat that the default Mathematica ordering function does not correctly order file names if the number of digits varies, ie. FileName(20).csv will come after FileName(100).csv. Is there a way to change that? | |
