Coffee is dangerous and must be regulated by the government immediately.
People who drink it are terrible people and I'm having an extra large cup now.
Seriously, this cup of coffee is huge.

That's a funny coincindence, because I made coffee the other day and forgot to put the coffee in.
Came down to a pot of clear hot water.

I do the same thing, except I forget why I went to the kitchen in the first place.

I have this soda stream thingy. (I don't like coffee) I have lately gotten in the habit of making my caffeinated soda the night before. So I don't have to worry whether or not I have properly operated the mechanism for the Soda Maker at 5am.

Erm...Doesn't it get rather flat by the 5am?

seal it shake it. It seems ok. To be honest I probably don't notice much until the caffeine actually hits. So it might be flat. HEck I might be chewing coffee beans for all I know.

Came across a folder having files with these names:
Eighth.txt
Eleventh.txt
Fifth.txt
First.txt
Fourth.txt
Ninth.txt
Second.txt
Seventh.txt
Sixth.txt
Tenth.txt
Third.txt
Not easy to sort
|
|
|
|
|
No need to: they are already sorted alphabetically!

|
|
Nah ...
You know what I mean
|
|
|
|
|
Easy: sort by creation date...

For some strange / unknown reason, the creation time is the same, to the level of second. And the files are modified in different orders by different people, and we cannot use the 'Date of Modification' also.

Sorting them will be easy!
All you need to sort them is meta-data, so just go to http//:yetmoreuselessxmlcrap.com and download our XML-based system!
All your current worries will simply fade into the background, as you spend the next five years setting up the system to handle this simple task!!

Here, I solved this with C# and Linqpad.
Here are the steps:
1. Get LINQPad at http://www.linqpad.net/[^]
It's a great free tool which allows you to run C# as a script
2. Copy the code below to LINQPad
3. Change the <yourPathToFiles> to the path to your files.
4. run
Notice that it uses an enumeration to set the value automatically of each string ("first", "second", etc) to a numeric value.
After that it adds the file names to the SortedList and then prints them out.
Easy as that.
If you need other FileInfo about those files, it would be very easy to add. This'll get you started.
The number one thing about this is, GET LINQPAD. It is a great tool.
void Main()
{
string [] allFiles = Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\<yourPathToFiles>","*.txt");
SortedList allFileNames = new SortedList();
order fileSortOrder = new order();
foreach (string filename in allFiles)
{
string tempName = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(filename);
allFileNames.Add(Enum.Parse(fileSortOrder.GetType(),tempName), Path.GetFileName(filename));
}
for (int i=0; i< allFileNames.Count;i++)
{
Console.WriteLine(allFileNames.GetByIndex(i));
}
}
enum order
{
first,
second,
third,
fourth,
fifth,
sixth,
seventh,
eighth,
ninth,
tenth,
eleventh
}
OUTPUT
first.txt
second.txt
third.txt
fourth.txt
fifth.txt
sixth.txt
seventh.txt
eighth.txt
ninth.txt
tenth.txt
eleventh.txt

Solves for the known set, but what about twelfth.txt, thirteenth.txt, etc?
