list sort by suffix/prefix

[Redan13]

i find i often need to sort by a specific part of a name since duplicating a file adds a suffix ect. ex: example_0109.txt
i did a bit of searching and wast able to find a script or way to do this if anyone can be helpful with a soluton

And now you want to sort by the part 0109?

[Redan13]

correct.

Add a scripted custom column and use e.g. this script (for this special case):

Code: Select all

return gettoken(<cc_base>, 2, "_");

Then you can use that column to sort

that helps thanks. but what about if it would be somthing like: example_111_0109-11.txt ; and still trying to sort by the 0109 segment?

Then you change to a more appropriate script:
return gettoken(gettoken(<cc_base>, 3, "_"), 1, "-");

that works thanks!
