Sorting files by month name

Solved

Hello everyone,

I'm sorry but I'm coming in with a question that might seem very silly, but I can't find the answer...

I have saved files (PDF type) with their titles being the month of their publication (October 2010; August 2010, etc.)
I would like to display them in chronological order (according to the month in the title and not the date of modification, saving, etc.) to make it clear, but I can't seem to find the right filter...

Do you have a solution?

Thank you very much

Have a great day

    Hello,

    There might be something more operational, but what you can do is sort it with the corresponding numbers for the month.

    For example:
    09.2010-September-2010
    10.2010-October-2010
    11.2010-November-2010

    Hello Tatouchka,

    Bertrand40 is right. Windows doesn’t allow that kind of sorting. Therefore, you need to rename all the files. For that, a very handy freeware: https://www.01net.com/telecharger/windows/Utilitaire/gestion_de_fichier/fiches/27800.html (Lupas Rename) that allows for lots of 'renaming' combinations. In your case, choose:
    Replace 'January' with '01', 'February' with '02', etc. You will then have '01 January 2010', '02 February 2010', etc.

    Useful for batch renaming.

    Best regards,

    Thank you Bertrand,

    Indeed, that's what I was thinking of doing, but I thought there was a more "radical" solution lol.

    Thank you very much for your help

      You're welcome :) I think you're currently sorting by file name, so there's nothing more to expect from Windows.
