Using the NCS method of file naming (or slight variation), how is it possible to get files to list chronologically with the sheet order? Generally, the G-, AS, AD, etc. sheets sort after the A- sheets? This is important for larger projects where batch plotting is done so that the sheets print in the order at which they should be bound in the set. I would prefer a method that would push G-, AD, and AS before the A- sheets in this listed order. Any suggestions?
