I'm trying to print files present inside a folder in it's original order. Order inside folder [1.mp4 2.mp4 5.mp4 10.mp4 23.mp4]

Code I use:

targetFile = os.listdir(path)
for i in targetFile:
    print(i)

Output I get: 1.mp4 10.mp4 2.mp4 23.mp4 5.mp4

Output I expected: 1.mp4 2.mp4 5.mp4 10.mp4 23.mp4

How to fix it?

The solution you seek is ordering the list as if they were an int. At the moment the result you are getting is based on how a string is sorted. If you can figure out how to change the key in sorting os.listdir(path), your problem is solved.

    @buhtz true, it does not give the solution, but it shows the way how to solve it. For such a simple problem, I'd say that is appropriate. – mikuszefski Nov 10 '22 at 07:27
