Hi, I have a directory containing images with filenames as:  
`abc (1).jpg, abc (2).jpg, abc (3).jpg, ... abc (10).jpg, abc (11).jpg, ... , abc (99).jpg`

But when I load the images into my custom UI using 'ImageServer', it orders the images as:  
`abc (1).jpg, abc (10).jpg, abc (11).jpg, abc (12).jpg ... abc (2).jpg, abc (20).jpg, abc (21).jpg, ...`

Is there any way to influence how `ImageServer` sorts the images before displaying? Thanks.

Hi! By default, Prodigy orders all files alphabetically (as of [v1.10.5](https://prodi.gy/docs/changelog#v1.10.5)). So the easiest way to control the order would be to name the files alphabetically in the order you want them displayed – for example, in your case, you can use `(01)` instead of `(1)`.
