I am wanting to play back 295 files in order with sfplay, I'm using umenu to call up each of the files and this works well BUT after file 10 umenu goes to file 100 to 109 then it goes to file 11. the umenu contents are pasted below.

Is there any way to coerce umenu to order its contents numerically, eg 9 10 11 12 etc instead ot 9 10 100 101 102 etc?

            "box" :             {

                "maxclass" : "umenu",

                "varname" : "umenu",

                "id" : "obj-14",

                "parameter_enable" : 0,

                "outlettype" : [ "int", "", "" ],

                "autopopulate" : 1,

                "patching_rect" : [ 1039.25, 289.0, 313.0, 22.0 ],

                "numinlets" : 1,

                "prefix" : "Macintosh HD:/Users/rogeralsop/Music/Logic/Kylie infinite/Bounces/",

                "items" : [ "Incomplete Infinities - Take 5.526.01.aif", ",", "Incomplete Infinities - Take 5.526.02.aif", ",", "Incomplete Infinities - Take 5.526.03.aif", ",", "Incomplete Infinities - Take 5.526.04.aif", ",", "Incomplete Infinities - Take 5.526.05.aif", ",", "Incomplete Infinities - Take 5.526.06.aif", ",", "Incomplete Infinities - Take 5.526.07.aif", ",", "Incomplete Infinities - Take 5.526.08.aif", ",", "Incomplete Infinities - Take 5.526.09.aif", ",", "Incomplete Infinities - Take 5.526.10.aif", ",", "Incomplete Infinities - Take 5.526.100.aif", ",", "Incomplete Infinities - Take 5.526.101.aif", ",", "Incomplete Infinities - Take 5.526.102.aif", ",", "Incomplete Infinities - Take 5.526.103.aif", ",", "Incomplete Infinities - Take 5.526.104.aif", ",", "Incomplete Infinities - Take 5.526.105.aif", ",", "Incomplete Infinities - Take 5.526.106.aif",

numerically-ordering-files-in-umenu

maybe prefix-pad the file names with zeros, so it's 001, 002, ... 010, 011, ... 099, 100, 101 etc

there's file renaming utilities that could do that pretty easily-- name mangler on the mac is good

(or infix-pad ie 5.526.002 etc)
