Anyone knows how to select multiple files in correct order in a standard windows fileopen dialog? Shift-click and control-click, i never get the correct order.

The last file ctrl-clicked seems to become the first in the resulting selected files-list, but not always.

i want to click in order: 1.jpg 2.jpg 3.jpg 4.jpg to become "1.jpg" "2.jpg" "3.jpg" "4.jpg"

same question was asked here http://bytes.com/topic/access/answers/509803-cmdialog-file-open-multiple-file-selection-order but the link mentioned is dead by now. :(

I'm using html5 multifile upload, and would like to have the items uploaded in the order the user selected them in the openfiledialog.

Just reverse the order. The last file clicked always goes to the front. I do not know of any exceptions to this rule.

try ctrl click 4321 then click whitespace and try another order... here it isn't correct reversed – Sotto May 31 '11 at 20:08
I tried it with files named 1.txt, 2.txt and 3.txt. All it takes is to reverse the order... – soandos May 31 '11 at 20:11
Did that work? or did you mean something else? – soandos May 31 '11 at 22:07
sometimes it's exactly reversed, but sometimes it's random. I guess i'll have to implement reordering after upload. Thanks. – Sotto Jun 2 '11 at 11:51
