    Hello guys! I´m using the Dir$() function, that returns the paths of the files that I want. I noticed that the sequence is always the same. I need a reverse function just like a navigation through image files, backward and foward. Does anyone have an idea? Thanks!

      No, there is no "sorting" like that going on. The order of files you get is not guaranteed, but tends to follow the order as they come from NTFS. There is no function that will return them in backwards order. Get the list of files from NTFS, including the creation date/time and sort the list on that.
