[wet flame]

is the friendBtnList what you want to sort?

[trail pawn]

look at this

[alpine shell]

yh

i want it sorted alphabetically

[wet flame]

def processPath():
    global path
    if os.path.exists(path):
    #print("path exists")
        if os.path.isdir(path):
            print("It is directory")
            count = 0 #keeps a track of how many image files are dealt with:
            for file in os.listdir(path):
                print(file)
                (head, tail)= os.path.splitext(file)
                print(f"head... {head}) and tail ...{tail}")
                if tail.lower() not in [".png", ".jpg"]:
                    continue
                print(file)
                count = count + 1
                print(f"number of image files processed: {count}")
                displayImg(file,count)
            print(friendBtnList.sort())# changed this 

or sorted(firendBtnList)

[alpine shell]

so this is how i add it to my code?

[wet flame]

idk you can try it

[trail pawn]

[wet flame]

print(sorted(friendBtnList))

[alpine shell]

ohok so another line of code

[wet flame]

no

[alpine shell]

or same

[wet flame]

def processPath():
    global path
    if os.path.exists(path):
    #print("path exists")
        if os.path.isdir(path):
            print("It is directory")
            count = 0 #keeps a track of how many image files are dealt with:
            for file in os.listdir(path):
                print(file)
                (head, tail)= os.path.splitext(file)
                print(f"head... {head}) and tail ...{tail}")
                if tail.lower() not in [".png", ".jpg"]:
                    continue
                print(file)
                count = count + 1
                print(f"number of image files processed: {count}")
                displayImg(file,count)
            print(sorted(friendBtnList))# changed this 

[alpine shell]

doesnt work

[wet flame]

[alpine shell]

Yh but look now it does this

Before it didn’t do that it should the friends

Do Yk wat happened

[wet flame]

[alpine shell]

Yes

[wet flame]

so how did that change and didnt go back as old

Let me try fix it

[wet flame]

[alpine shell]

Idk

Ffs

What happened

[wet flame]

lol sorry

[alpine shell]

Ok wait

So

I’ll fix that

So basically

How comes I don’t

@wet flame

Is there anyway u can fix my one

[wet flame]

maybe my folders are sorted asc

and urs arnt

[alpine shell]

Wdym

[wet flame]

and everytime i add new stuff in my folder they first get order in the folder

by windows

[alpine shell]

I have Mac

[marble hound]

A quick search says that the order returned by os.listdir is OS/filesystem dependant. If you want a certai order, use sorted or the sort method of lists to sort the files first.

[alpine shell]

Huh

[marble hound]

*os.listdir

Not list.dir.

[alpine shell]

So I change list.dir to os.dir

[marble hound]

No. list.dir was a typo I made in the original comment.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4813061/non-alphanumeric-list-order-from-os-listdir

[alpine shell]

Ok I’ll try let me fix my code first

[wet flame]

@alpine shell

[alpine shell]

Yh

[wet flame]

can you try add a files.sort() at

def processPath():
    global path
    if os.path.exists(path):
    #print("path exists")
        if os.path.isdir(path):
            print("It is directory")
            count = 0 #keeps a track of how many image files are dealt with:
            files.sort() #<<< HERE 
            for file in os.listdir(path):
                print(file)
                (head, tail)= os.path.splitext(file)
                print(f"head... {head}) and tail ...{tail}")
                if tail.lower() not in [".png", ".jpg"]:
                    continue
                print(file)
                count = count + 1
                print(f"number of image files processed: {count}")
                displayImg(file,count)
            print(friendBtnList)
        else:
            print("Path exists but no folders")
    else:
        print("No such path")
        pass```

under count = 0

[alpine shell]

Ok first lemme fix my code from before

[marble hound]

This is what the posts suggests to do.

[alpine shell]

Give me 5 mins

[marble hound]

So yes. Just call sort or sorted.

[wet flame]

ye sort the file

not the list

🤔

[marble hound]

The list of files.

And also, there's no need for the pass at the end there. Not sure who put that in.

[wet flame]

lol

i get everytime ordered

how 😮

[marble hound]

Mac must make that guarantee or something . The docs for listdir say:

The list is in arbitrary order.

[wet flame]

oh okay

first i thought he wanted tjhe list when he prints to be sorted lol

took a long long time to fix this "simple" issue

[alpine shell]

Ok

I got it back to how it was before

[wet flame]

😂

[alpine shell]

Now let me do wat u said

Wait so after count = 0 I add it

[wet flame]

under it or aboce doesnt matter

[wet flame]

what was the problem :D?

[alpine shell]

No now it doesn’t even show anything

[alpine shell]

It was only showing 1 picture

[wet flame]

 files = os.listdir(path)
 files.sort()```

[alpine shell]

I have to add that

[wet flame]

yes

wait

[alpine shell]

It’s two separate lines right

Ok

[wet flame]

then in the whole loop

you add while file in files it was for

not os.lstdir

[alpine shell]

I’m confused so I add more

To where

[wet flame]

lemme send the code

def processPath():
    global path
    if os.path.exists(path):
    #print("path exists")
        if os.path.isdir(path):
            print("It is directory")
            files = os.listdir(path) # <<<
            files.sort() # << 
            count = 0 #keeps a track of how many image files are dealt with:
            for file in files: # <<<
                print(file)
                (head, tail)= os.path.splitext(file)
                print(f"head... {head}) and tail ...{tail}")
                if tail.lower() not in [".png", ".jpg"]:
                    continue
                print(file)
                count = count + 1
                print(f"number of image files processed: {count}")
                displayImg(file,count)
            print(friendBtnList)
        else:
            print("Path exists but no folders")
    else:
        print("No such path")
        pass```

[alpine shell]

Ok I try

So it’s files = os.listdir(path)

One line

[wet flame]

ye

[alpine shell]

Then files.sort next line

[wet flame]

yes

then in the for loop

[alpine shell]

Anything else

[wet flame]

you add files not os.listdir(path)

you maybe could do os.listdir(path).sort() 😄 ? idk

but try first if it works

[alpine shell]

The loop? Is where

[wet flame]

in processPath

for file in os.listdir(path): you change os.listdir(path) to files

[alpine shell]

So just .files

[wet flame]

no just files

for file in files

[alpine shell]

Ok

[wet flame]

maybe works

[alpine shell]

Nope

Still not alphabetical

[wet flame]

really

[alpine shell]

Yh look

Ok forget that

Do Yk

Say

I want it so that the friends of the friend

Is like going down

Not across

So like for the friends of Adam

I want his friends to be going down in a row

Do Yk how I would do that

@wet flame

His friends are Alex Ali raj rima

But it goes to like the bottom in a row rather than going down his name

[wet flame]

so if you click ADAM all should align below adam like a column

[alpine shell]

Yh

That’s how I want it

[wet flame]

can you click adam first?

[alpine shell]

But it doesn’t work like that

[wet flame]

and show pic

[alpine shell]

Yh

Ok

Here u go boss

So I want it going down next to his name

Not across everyone else

[wet flame]

i cant make it work like urs

can u send code again

[alpine shell]

Ok

!close
