Non-alphanumeric list order from os.listdir()

by

You can use the builtin sorted function to sort the strings however you want. Based on what you describe, 

sorted(os.listdir(whatever_directory))

Alternatively, you can use the .sort method of a list:

lst = os.listdir(whatever_directory)
lst.sort()

I think should do the trick.

Note that the order that os.listdir gets the filenames is probably completely dependent on your filesystem.
