Title: Quick question -fileorder Reverse?
Post by: phfx on October 28, 2010, 12:31:44 PM
So I've got a quicky and can't seem to find an answer on my own.

I'm doing a batch rename on images in a directory doing "-fileorder -DateTimeOriginal -fileorder -shutterspeed"

Now what I'd like is the shutterspeed results to be reversed.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

Phil

Hi Phil,

-fileorder -shutterspeed (as you have done) sorts in reverse order

-fileorder shutterspeed sorts in normal order

But I would suggest -fileorder shutterspeed# to sort numerically.  Otherwise the fractional values will be sorted alphabetically, which would yield odd results.
