The FOREACH script command works through a list of files in a folder. What order are the files processed?

With Prism Mac, the order of files is not predictable. 

With Prism Windows (version 4 or 5), the order depends on which files system your computer uses.

  • With NTFS and CDFS file systems, the names are returned in alphabetical order.
  • With FAT file systems, the names are returned in the order the files were written to the disk, which may or may not be in alphabetical order.
