How can I numerically sort my files?
I wanted to upload the files in my folder in a particular order. When I found that I had not uploaded a file in the proper order, I initially attempted to move it by dragging it to the place I wanted...

Hi, Nancy:
I've tried adding numbers to my files manually. I can do that by renaming the files. But the files are not in the order I want, and I don't know how to get Dropbox to sort them. I had to revise the initial memo in my file that should be the first document, but now it's at the bottom of the folder. So, I tried putting a number 1 on it and adding subsequent numbers to other files in the order I wanted. I only did five as a sample. Right now, 1 is at the bottom. Then, even though I numbered them in order, Dropbox shifted them around, so now they are in the order of 4, 5, and 3. Is there a way to add numbers to out of order files and get Dropbox to sort them for me? I only have a free account. Thanks for your help!
