Library Sorting Order

I am wondering if there is a way to sort the Library in a sort of "true numerical order" (1,2,3,4 instead of 1,10,100,101,102,103)? When I try to bulk edit my audio in Audition, I would like to do it on a multi-track, but it is difficult if it goes according to the 1,10,100,101,102 instead of 1,2,3,4.

For bulk-editing audio, I select all of my audio items in the library, right click, go to "Edit With..." and find your Adobe Audition CC executable file. This is a good technique if you want to run an overall de-hummer or de-clicker.

I found the clunky work-around for this issue:

Re-name the first hundred files to ##filename##.


Ex:

01Narration01

02Narration02...

10Narration10

20Narration20...

Once we get the first hundred files re-named, everything goes in numerical order. It's not great, but it's what we've got. IMHO, that is better than dragging and dropping each file to each slide. Now everything will export in order and let me edit in order.

I'm not sure I can contribute on a technique to renumber the library items, unless you can add leading zeros directly: 001,010, 100,101,102 would sort correctly if treated as a number OR text. It appears the library treats these numbers as text.

I AM interested in knowing your technique for bulk editing audio, if you would share!
