Ciao to all!
I'm new to this program, I see it has a lot of features so I ask to you all if it implements a feature it's a long time I'm looking for.

I have some plots of some electrical measurements ("_" is the separator)
DEVICE01_30°_9V.jpg
DEVICE01_40°_9V.jpg
DEVICE01_40°_12V.jpg
DEVICE02_30°_9V.jpg
DEVICE02_40°_9V.jpg
DEVICE02_40°_12V.jpg
...

I'm looking for a feature to sort the files (which will be then sent "in sequence" to an image viewer) according to one/more token(s) contained in the name

For example:

- Sort by token#2 will provide to me the ability to inspect how the devices-behaviour keeping constant the temperature

DEVICE01_30°_9V.jpg
DEVICE02_30°_9V.jpg
DEVICE01_40°_9V.jpg
DEVICE01_40°_12V.jpg
DEVICE02_40°_9V.jpg
DEVICE02_40°_12V.jpg
...


- Sort by token #3 will provide me to "pack" the plots based on the tension...
DEVICE01_30°_9V.jpg
DEVICE02_30°_9V.jpg
DEVICE01_40°_9V.jpg
DEVICE02_40°_9V.jpg
DEVICE01_40°_12V.jpg
DEVICE02_40°_12V.jpg
...

I hope my request is clear!
Let's see :)

Ciao and thanks!
Andrea

AFAIK, sorting by parts of the names is not possible.

Would it help using the Quick filter?
