Once upon a time, 01-Sep-01 14:30:32, Ted Cotton spoke thus about
'[D5] Dopus Listers.':

errr....if they're named:

A.January
B.February
C.March

aren't they sorted in order already, (default sort: Name) ?

However, if you really meant they're named 'January', 'February', 'March',
etc....why not sort on the Date field instead?

If you're going to say that the Date field relates in no way to the actual
Name, (eg. January is datestamped as 01-12-00), then just DateStamp the
directory to the correct date before sorting.

(Or even write a small ARexx script to do it for you :)
