mlmimicking finder filename sorting order
FROM : Markus Ruggiero

Hi list fellows,

I am working on a small Cocoa app that accepts dropped files from the
Finder.

I need to process the files in the same order as the Finder displays
them when ordered by name. This order is somewhat strange as the Finder
interprets digits at the beginning of the name numerically and not as
plain ASCII chars. Is there something in the Frameworks that allows for
easy mimicking this behaviour with an array of strings?

Thanks for any help
