Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers [SOLVED] Rename multiple files Post 302740017 by Corona688 on Wednesday 5th of December 2012 10:26:30 AM

Well, the way they're sorted, they don't really sort numerically. No sort command I can think of is going to grok floating point numbers in exponential notation.

So the usual trick is to rename them into something that will sort.

Are there any positive exponents or only negative ones? Any negative numbers or only positive ones? What do they look like?
