The Bulk File Import Tool allows you to upload multiple files through the browser into a specified location. This can be achieved by specifying a file import directory on your server to import the files of. When importing files in this manner, the Bulk File Import Tool would previously import files into Matrix in random order. This feature introduces a new option to the Bulk File Import Tool to sort the files imported from a Server File Import.

The Sort the files alphanumerically on import? option is enabled on the Details screen of the Bulk File Import Tool in the Server File Import settings.

Enabling this option will sort imported files in alphanumeric order (i.e. numerals -> capital letters -> lower case letters).

For example, consider the following list of files to be imported:

1.txtapple.txt31apples.txtTest_1.docx001.pdf30apples.doc

Selecting the Sort the files alphanumerically on import? option would sort this list of files in the following order:

001.pdf
1.txt
30apples.doc
31apples.txt
Test_1.docx
apple.txt

This addition has also been carried over to the import_files.php script which is used to import files from a server. This option is specified when running this script through a new --sort argument.

For example:

$ php import_files.php [system_root] folders_to_import 66 1 --sort

This feature has been added to provide greater control to users when importing files into Squiz Matrix.
