I found the simple answer to be:
Tell Application "Finder"
-- what was:
-- set OurFileList to selection
-- to get what I was asking for:
set OurList to sort selection by name
end tell
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?
The short version:
set OurFileList to selection
-- 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:
{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"}
You may coerce the pathnames as strings or Unicode texts then use a
sort handler.
