Q: How do I ensure that the returned file alias list of the current
finder selection is always sorted alphanumerically, or force it to sort?
It seems to be unaffected by selection order in the finder and
display order.
The short version (OS 10.4.4):
tell Finder
set OurFileList to selection
end tell
-- result:
{document file "A13" of folder "XYZ" of disk "HD1";
document file "C12" of folder "XYZ" of disk "HD1";
document file "D14" of folder "XYZ" of disk "HD1";
document file "A10" of folder "XYZ" of disk "HD1"}
-- result I need for my purposes:
{document file "A10" of folder "XYZ" of disk "HD1";
document file "A13" of folder "XYZ" of disk "HD1";
document file "C12" of folder "XYZ" of disk "HD1";
document file "D14" of folder "XYZ" of disk "HD1"}
Any insight appreciated.
Cheers
