    Is there a way to sort a list where the names in the list are numbers? I have about 1200 entires and I want to sort them 1,2,3,4,5,6, etc.

    But the plugin is listing them 1, 10, 100, 1000, etc.

    Is there a pro version of the plugin that would fix this?

    Hi @stevenmayjr

    Thats a fair question. What you are referring is mostly called “natural sorting”.

    It isn’t included in the plugin at the moment and due to hospitalization I can’t currently work on it.

    Another way to achieve it would be to use leading zeroes (0001 and 0019), but it might not be that pretty.

    At the moment there is no pro version of the plugin. I hope you use it with my tip.

    I think it will be a nice addition, but as I said, i can’t currently work on it.

    Kind regards,

    Jeroen

    I’m sorry I would love to keep using the plugin or contribute towards a pro version but I don’t think adding 000 will help as that will just push the system back to counting it further down.

    hey @stevenmayjr,

    sorry, as I told you I was hospitalized. Now I am available again. I think I can create a custom plugin for you which you can use as I don’t have a Pro-version just yet.
