Sort By when table dynamically built using FSO

Is this possible? I know that SORT BY Order ASC (for example) is possible and very common when communicating with a database, but is this possible, within a File system environment?

thanks,
nancy

What do you mean by "work around by reading db,and overwrite previous file" ?

Thanks for your reply,
Nancy

Nancy,

This is possible, I have done that successfully long back, let me do a search on my backup on that and post here.

Cheers!

Hi Nancy,

Instead I could easily find it out from my favourites. Here you go, an article about how to do that.

When I get a list of all files in a directory via the FileSystemObject, they aren't ordered in any reasonable way. How can I sort the files by name? Or by size? Or by date created? Or...

Cheers!

oh, my bad..
sort order of files, not sort within a file.
