Sorry if this has been asked before (searched list archives - maybe not right combination of words?).

I need to import stacks of raw images using File->Import->Raw and selecting 'Open All Files in Folder'.  The images have filenames that contain letters and numbers: zz-1, zz-2, ... , zz-10, zz-11, ..., zz-48.

When the stack gets created the order becomes: zz-1, zz-10, zz-11, ... , zz-2, zz-21, ... instead of what I want: zz-1, zz-2, ..., zz-10, zz-11, ...

1) Can I tell ImageJ to do a numeric instead of alpha sort on the filename numbers when the stack is created?
2) If not, is there a better way to resort the stack than the 'Stack Sorter' plugin (nice, but tedious for 48 images/stack)?
