But even if you call files and directories by sequential numbers, you can not test it crossingly( I do not know if this word is proper.) I mean, take a case for example. You have a directory tree like that:
01_xx/01_yy/01.exp 01_xx/02_zz/02.exp 02_aa/01_bb/03.exp 02_aa/02_cc/04.exp You now have a sequence: 01.exp,02.exp,03.exp,04.exp. But mybe at one point you have follow another order 03.exp,01.exp,04.exp,02.exp. You must change the whole directory tree, at most times, it is not really you want. So if you have a file specified the priority with no dependence on directory, you can do what you wish just by changing some entries. It is why I said this feature is valueable for some people like you and me. A lot of no sense working should be avoided. Wenbo Yang SimpLight Nanoelectronics, LTD.
