When I export a list of files in my catalog to a csv file, they are organised differently to a windows file list of the same files in a folder.
I can't upload an image on here so I will try to show. The first column is directly from AMC's export function. The second column was generated in DOS using a file list command. My question is, what formatting is AMC using in it's export function so I can try to match it for the other list? I've tried the obvious ones but none work.

Maybe this question is related to your other Post about adding Year to filenames?

You can try to disable the "use natural sort" option that I mentioned in another thread.
It is supposed to sort numbers more like Windows does, but it does not seem to always work.
And your second list looks like a basic text sort, so AMC would normally do the same without the natural sort option.

No that's a different thing and that's all sorted now thanks to Python and ChatGPT. But it can take hours to sort out the sorting when AMC's export is so different to a list of directory from Windows.

I have just done a new list using the natural sort and it is much, much better! Thanks
