Hi,
 Here is a query from a newbie to the ImageJ listserv. I have a stack of CT
images with a naming sequence that I have never seen before. When I opened
it using File>Import>ImageSequence, the file stack opened in an incorrect
order.

 Here are the file names (and the order in which it got opened in
ImageSequence within brackets).

CT.rtp1.1.DAN.CHESTCT.T.137.CT.dcm (5)
CT.rtp1.1.DAN.CHESTCT.T.139.5.CT.dcm (1)
CT.rtp1.1.DAN.CHESTCT.T.142.CT.dcm (3)
CT.rtp1.1.DAN.CHESTCT.T.144.5.CT.dcm (6)
CT.rtp1.1.DAN.CHESTCT.T.147.CT.dcm (4)
CT.rtp1.1.DAN.CHESTCT.T.149.5.CT.dcm (2)

I would like to open the images in the sequence given above but don't know
how to. So, I tried these steps in vain.
Removed the dots,
Replaced dots with "_"
Appended a number to the end of the filename like
CTrtp11DANCHESTCTT137CT_1.dcm, CTrtp11DANCHESTCTT1395CT_2.dcm etc but that
did not help either.

I tried playing around with options in the Image sequence pop-up menu like
Starting Image:1, Increment:1; Sort Images Numerically etc, that did not
work either.

Can you help me with opening files in sequence given above. Thanks,
Ganesh
