Question - IDE Importing Images In Order

[robproctor83]

I must be missing something. I have 20 separate png images that make up a single animation. In GMS2 I make a new sprite, edit it and then choose Image > Import Image(s) and then select the 20 photos all at once and click ok. When it loads up the photos they are all out of order. The sprites are named:

small_flaming_00.png
small_flaming_01.png
small_flaming_02.png
...
small_flaming_10.png
...
small_flaming_20.png

What am I doing wrong???

FYI I found if I use the import button on the Sprite window, not the image editor, it imports in the right order.

I get the same result with both methods, the images are in order. I'm on MacOS though. What version of the IDE are you using?

Edit: looks like the order is not based on the filename, but on how the images are select from the filesystem. If I list the files in a specific order, say by size instead of name, that order is kept when importing. Try ordering the files correctly in the file select dialog

It may be importing them in the order you selected them, or sort them alphanumerically (with unintentional side effects) before importing? If this behavior is inconsistent between two different interfaces that lead to the same thing (but reproducible in both), I suggest filing a bug report.
