Range with numbered filenames need Natural Sort Order

support
1 
{{- range $index, $image := .Resources.ByType "image" -}}

With this range on images with numbered filenames like
i-1.jpg
i-2.jpg
i-10.jpg

I get a default sorting like
i-1.jpg
i-10.jpg
i-2.jpg

How to get a Natural Sort Order like the first list?

2

You name your files in natural order.

3

you’re right. simplest solution.

4

As an added note, you can rename the resources and use a counter etc. (there should be docs about this), but for the natural sort you currently need to do that on the disk.

5

Yes, there are docs on the use of counter.

Though, I would just name the files as 00-foo, 01-foo, etc. if I needed natural sort.

6

Well, this is not a solution. What if he gets to 100? Should he rename everything? No.

Completely agree - this isn’t even a reasonable workaround.

Could we pre-pad the incoming range with zeroes somehow? I’m really new to Hugo and to Go, so I’m not sure what this would look like.
