Sorting the files list by video length

Hello,
I really like the software. It's full of options! But I was trying to sort the video files by length to rename them from the shortest to the longest, in that order, adding numbers to the filenames (001, 002, 003...) and I didn't find the option in the columns section. Is there an alternative way to do it? Thank you! |

The elegant solution would be to use a Script method and write a sort routine. However this will involve some complex JavaScript programming and a simpler workaround would be to rename your files by adding the video length to the beginning of each file then, in a second pass, replace this value with an incrementing number, after sorting the list
First pass... Add: <Video Hour><Video min><Video Sec> At index: 0 Run the Batch, reloading all your files and sort the List on the filenames. Second pass... Replace: ^\d+ With: <Inc Nr:001> Use regular expressions |
