    Sorting files

    i have some pictures named with numbers and Konqueror, Gwenview or any other browsers will sort my files in this manner: (case insensitive)
    100
    101
    102
    103
    104
    ...
    199
    19
    1
    200
    ...

    and if i change it to case sensitive it sort like this:
    1
    10
    100
    101
    ...

    how do i make it sort properly like this:
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7
    8
    9
    10
    ...

    coz i want to view those files in chronologically. i didn't want to use the sort by date coz i want the files in other folders to be sorted by name.

    thanks in advance

    What about renaming the files?

    1 -> 001
    2 -> 002
    etc..

        sort by date or create more directories (having few files in the directory)

          I don't know, it's the only idea that I had.

          Then it's a task for a script .

          If no one cames with a better idea, I'll try to make one.
