Order of Import

Please refer to the Wiki Documentation for the complete File Input Settings reference.

SimpleIndex imports files in alphabetical order based on the filename. When importing files that start with an A-Z letter in the filename the ordering is obvious. This can be a bit more confusing when importing files that start with numbers.

When importing these file names: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12
The files will be imported in this order: 1, 10, 11, 12, 2, 3, 4, 5

To have files with numeric values at the beginning of the filename imported in the correct number order leading 0’s need to be added, so all the numbers are the same length.

When importing these file names: 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 10, 11, 12
The files will be imported in this order: 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 10, 11, 12
