open_dir() + next_file() +? alphabetical.

I'm trying to read files in alphabetically but when I use this the files are not alphabetical.

PHP Code:


		
			
    new filename[32], len

    

    new pDir = open_dir(szFilepath, filename, charsmax(filename))

    

    if(pDir)

    {

        do

        {

            len = strlen(filename)



            if(len > 4)

            {

                if( equal(filename[len - 4], ".ini") )

                {

                    // Load file!!!

                    server_print("Filename: %s", filename)

                    // server_print(">>>>Yippeeeee!!!!!!!")

                }

            }

        } while( next_file(pDir, filename, charsmax(filename)) )

        close_dir(pDir)

    }

Output:

Code:

test

Filename: maps2.ini

Filename: maps3.ini

Filename: maps4.ini

Filename: maps1.ini

The ultimate goal is to be able to define the order files are read by prefixing the filenames with 1, 2, 3, etc. Like rc#.d folders in linux (I'm using Fedora).

Re: open_dir() + next_file() +? alphabetical.

Put the list of files in array, sort the array and the use the sorted array.

open_dir / next_file will return the files in order as they appear in the disk (physically)

I was hoping to process file's inline. :(. But it can easily be done this way.
