It's a periodic publication that got published (I suppose) when they had a satisfying amount material for a single volume. The filenames go: [year] - [volume].
Roman Numerals died for a good reason. Being difficult is just one of them.
I'm not sure where the infuriating part is. Computers sort by the left-most symbol to the right-most. The fact that the years are in order is correct, even if the Roman numerals are offset, is still in...order...okay now I see.
It should be sorting alphabetically because X, V, and I, don't go in that order outside of Roman numerals. Fuck now I am mildly infuriated. Not gonna edit so anyone that needs this revelation has it here.
Would you mind sharing the revelation? I'm not sure yet what's infuriating. The files are sorted by year primarily; the only tie is 1950, and "I" (in "XIX") comes before "V" (in "XVIII") alphabetically, so they're in order as well.
Read the Roman numeral numbers.
19 and 18 are out of order, but computers don't sort Roman numerals numerically unless you make them. They're sorted correctly alphabetically.
But that is what they are talking about. The Roman numbers are out of order. That's why it's mildly infuriating. It's not that what's happening doesn't make sense.
Computers sort by characters in order. In English order, I comes before either X or Y. So the fact that these characters are out of order, while on a computer that orders things numerically->alphabetically, means that every part of this image is out of order, by definition of its medium.
The files are sorted by the numeric year first, up to 1950.
The two files for 1950 are together, as they should be.
But the letters are sorted alphabetically, so XI comes before XV. It doesn't see that they are numbers, it's reading them as letters.
If they want it sorted correctly, they should rename the files:
"1950 - 018
1950 - 019"
That would work. Interestingly enough, so would:
"1950 - Eighteen
1950 - Nineteen"
Now this whole thread is mildly infuriating - its spreading
you can populate any metadata fields that aren't being used with numbers and sort by that instead
I like you.
Retvrn to a shitty and unusable number system
