Hi everyone,

I'm processing a directory containing files with names like something1, something2, ..., something10, something11, ..., something100, something101...
This messes up the sorting when I'm reading those files with p:directory-list, as someting10, something11, someting100, and something101 come before something2. I could preprocess the files with an external script to fix the numbering, but I was wondering if there is something I could do from within the pipeline. I haven't seen attributes on p:directory-list that would help with that.




XPath 3.1 has fn:sort you could use on e.g. <p:for-each><p:with-input select="//*:file => sort('http://www.w3.org/2013/collation/UCA?numeric=yes')"/> that processes the result of the p:directory-list.

Thanks, for the suggestion. I've tried that. But it doesn't seem to have any effect. It keeps processing the files in the same order. What could go wrong here? How can I track that down?

Best,
Denis
