Solution 1

That is always a PITA - string sort order is different from numeric sort order, so you can't directly sort by extension the way you want, even if it contains only numeric digits.
Have a look at this: Numeric String Sort in C#[^] - it sorts the "wrong" part of the file name for you, but it should be pretty easy for you to change!

is it possible without dll?

OriginalGriff 17-Apr-13 7:47am

Do you mean shlwapi.dll?
Because the code doesn't use it - it just mentions that it replaces it's functionality.
If not, what do you mean?
