If Galaxy just sorted these files alphabetically before display/import would that fix your problem? Or do your users need to be able to modify the order? -John On Mon, Dec 16, 2013 at 9:19 AM, Ulf Schaefer <Ulf.Schaefer@phe.gov.uk> wrote:
Dear all
Is there a way to sort the list of files that a user has uploaded via FTP? Currently they appear on the form of the tool 'Upload File' in random order it seems. There is not much documentation on the <param type="ftpfile" /> tag unfortunately.
If the user just selects all files they end up in his/her history in the same random order, which causes a slight inconvenience when using these files as paired multiple input for a workflow.
The obvious work-around is to put the files into the history one pair at a time, but this becomes a bit onerous for larger number of files.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Cheers Ulf
