CFileDialog File Order Selection

[CasperTheGhost]

How do you get the correct file order selection from CFileDialog?

When selecting multiple-files (OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT flag set) the string returned (using GetStartPosition, GetNextPathName, etc) is NOT necessarily the selected file order? Example: select 1.txt, 2.txt, 3.txt from the OPEN dialog and the edit box shows the order as 3.txt, 2.txt and 1.txt. Thinking simply reversing the string?, thought of that - there are numerous ways of selecting files from a folder (ctrl, shift, etc.) and they all either reverse the file order selection or insert into the string randomly depending if you select down a column or the far right, etc.
Any help would be appreciated in advance.....

I see what you're talking about. There seems to be no way to control the sequence.

Workaround:

You may wish to insert all files selected from the CFileDialog control into a list box on a parent dialog, which would have UP/DOWN arrows to allow the user to move the selected filenames to the proper sequence.
