So my program is looking through the files in the current folder 'sample_files' and printing them out. However, when the files are being printed out they are not in numerical order. Here is the contents of the 'sample_files' folder:
sample_1.txt
sample_2.txt
sample_3.txt
sample_3.txt
...
sample_10.txt
How my program prints these out is that it goes 'sample_1.txt', 'sample_10.txt', 'sample_2.txt', etc. Basically, the digits in the tens go right after 1 when being printed out. Here is my code:
import os
# Get files in current directory
files = os.listdir()
# Loop through files
for file in files:
print(file)
I was also looking around a bit and some people have said to use the sorted() function to organize these files but I updated my code and I still get the same results.
import os
# Get files in current directory
files = os.listdir()
sorted_files = sorted(files)
# Loop through files
for file in sorted_files:
print(file)
Maybe there's something I'm doing wrong but I'm not sure.
