Hi List,

I am batch processing a time series captured on a GE INCell imager. The
files have names like C - 9(fld 1 wv CFP - CFP- time 1 - 0 ms). The issue is
the Time 1 part. In windows explorer or mac finder they are ordered as time
1, time2, time 3, time 4, time 5......etc. If I load them into a stack using
the load image sequence command they load in the right order. But if I use a
macro to select a directory and build a file list it loads them in the order
time 1, time 10, time 11, time 12.......time 19, time 2, time 20, time
21...... etc.

Is there any way to get the file list array to sort in a different order so
the timepoints don't get messed up?


Cheers

Cam
