questions :sorting the database

(1/1)

miltk:
i have all my image files named "rsrc.img (xxxx).jpg  currently up to rsrc.img (4027).jpg

currently i have them sorted as primary:date   secondary:date   descending, because i want the latest additions always at the top.  when i change to "numeric name" or "name", although the latest images are still at the top, there's a slight shuffle

why?

what's the difference between, "name", "numeric name", and "date" and what is the necessity for a secondary sort

Name is alphabetic. Numeric Name takes into account the numeric value (rather than alphabetic order) of numbers in the name (e.g. IMG0099 comes after IMG09). Date is chronological.

When the primary key is the same for two files, the secondary key determines the sort order.
