How do you guys sort your files by hexadecimal?

Post by UselessAqua »

Not sure if this is the right board to ask this question, but do you guys know of some way to sort your files in "hexadecimal" order?

When I extracted files with Offzip, it automatically named them with hexadecimal names (such as 001111.jpg and 00AAAA.jpg). I don't have problem with the naming scheme, but Windows only lets me sort these files "alphabetically". So it messes up the order when 00AAAA comes before 001111 for example. It would be convenient for me to know of a way to quickly sort thousands of files in the proper order they were named.

this modification to the Group Policy editor seems to make it sort the way you describe:

but the part in step 2 where it says select "Windows Explorer" will be "File Explorer" instead in Windows 10. :D

You saved me from hell, my friend. :D
Now I can finally organize and view these files in hexadecimal order.
