BigDaddy Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 (edited) How could windows sort this files by their full name instead of just the first number in the name?btw. these files have incorrect date stamps so if I choose to sort them by DATE MODIFIED they wouldn't be sorted correctly.

KAndle Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 (edited) Try viewing by details and then click on the header for the date column.Click on View in the explorer menu then Details. Edited November 29, 2005 by KAndle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDaddy Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 Try viewing by details and then click on the header for the date column.Click on View in the explorer menu then Details.As I already stated that the date stamp on this files is wrong. Since they are coppied from an USB drive the DATE STAMP says only the date when the files were transfered from USB to HDD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAndle Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 (edited) You changed the question didn't you. The answer is basically the same instead of clicking on the date column click on the name column. Or right-click in the window and select Arrange Icons By Name but the items you are showing are sorted. What exactly do you want to do?

BigDaddy Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 No they are not.Look aT:08112005.WAV -->IS B409022005.WAVBut it should be reverse.Since eleventh month(november) is after second month(february)Didn't change the question just tried to make it clearer. I have a really hard time to explain U the nature of my problem. I hope the above example clears it a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 You can't get those in date order because you have DDMMYYYY format.You need to have YYYYMMDD format to get them sorted in date order.Try something like this to do the renames: http://www.mediachance.com/free/renamer.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
