Inside your Rundirex.txt, you should have this snippet: /RunDir { % Uses PathName variable on the operand stack { /mysave save def % Performs a save before running the PS file dup = flush % Shows name of PS file being run RunFile % Calls built in Distiller procedure clear cleardictstack % Cleans up after PS file mysave restore % Restores save level } 255 string filenameforall } def Right? If so, then add the definition of a bubble sort routine before that (which I got from Wikipedia), and then modify /RunDir into the snippet below. Ghostscript has a .sort built-in that does exaclty that, but I'm including it here as I don't know if Distiller will too. % Bubble sort from Wikibooks page on PostScript /mybubblesort { 1 index length 1 sub -1 1 { 2 index exch 2 copy get 3 copy % arr proc arr i arr[i] arr i arr[i] 0 1 3 index 1 sub { 3 index 1 index get % arr proc arr i arr[i] arr imax amax j arr[j] 2 index 1 index 10 index exec { % ... amax < arr[j] 4 2 roll } if pop pop } for % arr proc arr i arr[i] arr imax amax 4 -1 roll exch 4 1 roll put put } for pop } bind def /RunDir { % Uses PathName variable on the operand stack /nf 0 def % Reset counter for number of files { 255 string copy % Copy to a separate string (otherwise would be overwritten) /nf nf 1 add def % Increment counter of number of files } 255 string filenameforall nf array astore % Put all filenames in an array { lt } mybubblesort % And sort it { /mysave save def % Performs a save before running the PS file dup = flush % Shows name of PS file being run RunFile % Calls built in Distiller procedure clear cleardictstack % Cleans up after PS file mysave restore % Restores save level } forall % Execute original procedure, but using sorted array } def Of course I did not test it with Distiller which I don't have... I did test the part of sorting the list of files with Ghostscript and it works. Maybe word wrapping in the e-mail will ruin the snippet, if that's the case please let me know and I'll send it attached to you. Let us know if that works! Filipe
