Ever wondered how we decide the order of your files?
Well, to keep things simple, your files are sorted alphabetically when you add them to your transfer window and then when you hit transfer, they are sent in that order.
So if you have files named "Bob", "Carl and "Alice" and you add them to your transfer window. The files will be reordered "Alice", "Bob" and "Carl". Numbers and capital letters will also factor into the reordering, but in a very literal fashion.
This means thats Column A gets reordered into Column B:
| COLUMN A | ➡️ | COLUMN B |
| File-14 | Alpha-1 | |
| File-2 | Alpha-2 | |
| File-1 | File-1 | |
| alpha-1 | File-14 | |
| Alpha-2 | File-2 | |
| Alpha-1 | alpha-1 |
But Column C gets reordered into Column D:
| COLUMN C | ➡️ | COLUMN D |
| File-014 | Alpha-001 | |
| File-002 | Alpha-002 | |
| File-001 | File-001 | |
| alpha-001 | File-002 | |
| Alpha-002 | File-014 | |
| Alpha-001 | alpha-001 |
Simple, right?
Want the techie bits? Well, we follow ASCII guidelines. ASCII is a character encoding standard for electronic communication. Here is a table which shows the characters in order.
This is what determines the order of your files within your transfer.
