  None of the things in this picture makes sense. It’s a gold mine of Mildly Infuriating

    It’s a periodic publication that got published (I suppose) when they had a satisfying amount material for a single volume. The filenames go: [year] - [volume].

  Roman Numerals died for a good reason. Being difficult is just one of them.

  I’m not sure where the infuriating part is. Computers sort by the left-most symbol to the right-most. The fact that the years are in order is correct, even if the Roman numerals are offset, is still in…order…okay now I see.

  It should be sorting alphabetically because X, V, and I, don’t go in that order outside of Roman numerals. Fuck now I am mildly infuriated. Not gonna edit so anyone that needs this revelation has it here.

    Would you mind sharing the revelation? I’m not sure yet what’s infuriating. The files are sorted by year primarily; the only tie is 1950, and “I” (in “XIX”) comes before “V” (in “XVIII”) alphabetically, so they’re in order as well.

  you can populate any metadata fields that aren’t being used with numbers and sort by that instead
