Sort order in Virtual Stack Opener

Divakar Ramachandran
Is there a way to change the sort order in the Virtual stack opene
Hi,

Is there a way to change the sort order in the Virtual stack opener plugin? I have image files with names like A.1, A.2 etc., running typically to hundreds of images. When I open the images  as a stack using the virtual stack opener, the stack order is alphabetical, like A.1, A.10, A.100, A.101 etc. instead of the numerical order.

Thanks,
Divakar

Hi Divakar,

You could use a batch renamer to rename your files to a more
computer-friendly order, such as A.001, A.010, A.100. Or you could try
Image5D (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/plugins/image5d.html), or LOCI's
4D Data Browser (http://loci.wisc.edu/software/), both of which
support virtual stacks (cached on disk). My group (LOCI) is currently
working on better support for virtual stacks, and we hope to provide
more polished tools along those lines soon.
