hi monks,
i have the following list of filenames

{ID#0000D128}-20060519_090519_00000ZURACF2954.zip
{ID#0000D129}-20060519_091438_00000ZURACF2955.zip
{ID#0000D12C}-20060519_092458_00000ZURACF2957.zip
{ID#0000D12D}-20060519_092911_00000ZURACF2956.zip

My problem is that i need to sort this list so that at the end the numbers are in right order, as you can see the 56 is after the 57 it shoud be the other way around

i ve read in a book that there are more complex sort functions but then the book stops at this position and continue with the a cmp b and the nummeric way a <=> b

i thought about spliting the filename into parts to sort everything as a part and then reatach the parts but when i do somthing like this i lost the connection between the parts


have someone a clue about this ?, as usual links tips and any help are kindly welcome ;)
