You don't want to use a hotkey? Okay, so now the question... "What method would you like to use to tell the script to stop looping?" Edit: P.S. Not sure yelling at it without code to interpret and a mic is going to work.

This topic is a long run #include <Array.au3> $sList = "ts-almojadilah5-3.mp3;ts-almojadilah6-1.mp3;ts-almojadilah6-2.mp3;ts-almojadilah4-4.mp3;" & _ "ts-almojadilah4-5.mp3;ts-almojadilah5-1.mp3;ts-almojadilah7-3.mp3;ts-almojadilah7-4.mp3;" & _ "ts-almojadilah7.mp3;ts-almojadilah6-3.mp3;ts-almojadilah7-1.mp3;ts-almojadilah7-2.mp3;" & _ "ts-almojadilah4-3.mp3;ts-almojadilah2-2.mp3;ts-almojadilah2-3.mp3;ts-almojadilah2-1.mp3;" & _ "ts-almojadilah1-1.mp3;ts-almojadilah1-2.mp3;ts-almojadilah2-4.mp3;ts-almojadilah4-1.mp3;" & _ "ts-almojadilah4-2.mp3;ts-almojadilah3-3.mp3;ts-almojadilah3-1.mp3;ts-almojadilah3-2.mp3;" & _ "1-1.mp3;1-2.mp3;15.mp3;10-1.mp3;10-3.mp3;2-1.mp3;2-2.mp3;20-1.mp3;test3.txt" $aList = StringSplit($sList, ";", 2) _ArrayDisplay($aList) _ArrayColInsert($aList, 1) For $i = 0 To UBound($aList)-1 $aList[$i][1] = Execute(StringRegExpReplace($aList[$i][0], _ '(.*?)(\d+)-?(\d+)?(.mp3)', "'$1' & StringFormat('%04i', '$2') & '.$3' & ") & "''") Next _ArraySort($aList, 0, 0, 0, 1) _ArrayColDelete($aList, 1) _ArrayDisplay($aList)

Relax ... give people time to stop by and reply when they want. Out rules is not to bump threads with 24 hours.

Maybe you can try with Binary instead of Number : #include <Array.au3> ; Simulate reading files with mp3 extension only $sList = "ts-almojadilah5-3.mp3;ts-almojadilah6-1.mp3;ts-almojadilah6-2.mp3;ts-almojadilah4-4.mp3;" & _ "ts-almojadilah4-5.mp3;ts-almojadilah5-1.mp3;ts-almojadilah7-3.mp3;ts-almojadilah7-4.mp3;" & _ "ts-almojadilah7-5.mp3;ts-almojadilah6-3.mp3;ts-almojadilah7-1.mp3;ts-almojadilah7-2.mp3;" & _ "ts-almojadilah4-3.mp3;ts-almojadilah2-2.mp3;ts-almojadilah2-3.mp3;ts-almojadilah2-1.mp3;" & _ "ts-almojadilah1-1.mp3;ts-almojadilah1-2.mp3;ts-almojadilah2-4.mp3;ts-almojadilah4-1.mp3;" & _ "ts-almojadilah4-2.mp3;ts-almojadilah3-3.mp3;ts-almojadilah3-1.mp3;ts-almojadilah3-2.mp3" $aList = StringSplit($sList, ";") _ArrayColInsert($aList, 1) For $i = 1 To $aList[0][0] $aList[$i][1] = Binary(StringReplace(StringReplace($aList[$i][0] , ".mp3", ""), "-", ".")) Next _ArrayDisplay($aList) _ArraySort($aList, 0, 0, 0, 1) _ArrayColDelete($aList, 1) _ArrayDisplay($aList, "Final", Default, 8)

Alexxander, It looks as if you want to show only .mp3 files - if that is the case then use the filter parameter of _FileListToArray to only list those files. Then the sort works as you wish: #include <Array.au3> ; Simulate reading files with mp3 extension only $sList = "14.mp3:16.mp3:8-1.mp3:8-2.mp3:10-1.mp3:10-2.mp3:11-1.mp3:11-2.mp3:11-3.mp3:13-2.mp3:13-3.mp3:15-1.mp3:15-2.mp3" $aList = StringSplit($sList, ":") _ArrayColInsert($aList, 1) For $i = 1 To $aList[0][0] $aList[$i][1] = Number(StringReplace(StringReplace($aList[$i][0], ".mp3", ""), "-", ".")) Next _ArraySort($aList, 0, 0, 0, 1) _ArrayColDelete($aList, 1) _ArrayDisplay($aList, "Final", Default, 8) M23

Also, we can add some blanks before each value, to have all strings with the same length (128 for example), and then sort the array : #include <Array.au3> ; Simulate reading files $sList = "8-1.mp3:8-2.mp3:10-2.mp3:8-4.mp3:8-5.mp3:10-1.mp3:8-3.mp3" $aList = StringSplit($sList, ":") _ArrayDisplay($aList, "Unsorted", Default, 8) ; Now create a 2D array... _ArrayColInsert($aList, 1) ; ...and set the [1] element to the number For $i = 1 To $aList[0][0] ; Adds spaces on the left, to have 128 caracters string $aList[$i][1] = StringFormat("%128s", $aList[$i][0] ) Next _ArrayDisplay($aList, "2D", Default, 8) _ArraySort($aList, 0, 0, 0, 1) _ArrayColDelete($aList, 1) _ArrayDisplay($aList, "Number column", Default, 8)

Alexxander, You need to sort the items numerically - at present you are sorting them as alphabetic strings. Here is how you might go about it: #include <Array.au3> ; Simulate reading files $sList = "8-1.mp3:8-2.mp3:10-2.mp3:8-4.mp3:8-5.mp3:10-1.mp3:8-3.mp3" $aList = StringSplit($sList, ":") _ArrayDisplay($aList, "Unsorted", Default, 8) ; Now create a 2D array... _ArrayColInsert($aList, 1) _ArrayDisplay($aList, "2D", Default, 8) ; ...and set the [1] element to the number For $i = 1 To $aList[0][0] $aList[$i][1] = Number(StringRegExpReplace($aList[$i][0], "[^0-9]", "")) Next _ArrayDisplay($aList, "Number column", Default, 8) ; Now sort the items numerically _ArraySort($aList, 0, 1, 0, 1) _ArrayDisplay($aList, "Numerical Sort", Default, 8) ; And finally remove the number column _ArrayColDelete($aList, 1) _ArrayDisplay($aList, "Final", Default, 8) All clear? M23

Yes, delete the first value in the array (7) (before sorting) which is the number of files then sort by ascending not descending
