LXXXLXXXV
I think you mean L̅X̅X̅X̅LXXXV
- That’s not “IV”, Obelix, that’s four.
Just put the year first :P
This is true.
If it’s in a list with other films with years first, you wouldn’t be about to visually scan by letter, though. Two “Saw” films could be separated by hundreds of others in between.
I would do year first but these would all be in sub folder for the franchise
MMIX
They are ordered correctly, alphabetically.

Lexicographically as well.
Feature request to Microsoft: Roman-numeral-sensitive alphabetical ordering for files. /s
Windows Explorer does not even support the Microsoft versioning system either /s
Are all correctly ordered? – No.
Which one is wrong? – Nein.
- What was Hitler's telephone number?
- 99-99-99.
Fun fact: In France, Saw VI and Saw VII skipped the numbers because Saw 6 is pronounced like saucisse (sausage) and Saw 7 is pronounced like someone having a lisp saying chaussette (sock)
I thought maybe translating "saw" is better, but nah, "La scicisse" et "la sciecette" is pretty cursed too
well, I would have actually watch it!
Saw VI in French takes a whole new meaning…
Saw XI takes a whole new meaning in China.
Whereas Saw X in English just sounds warm and comfortable.
Yeah it was wild hearing about it on Saw Con lol
I would regularily joke with my friend about going to eat some saw V sequels
Or to anyone whose name is Violet but goes by Vi for short.
Better call Saw.
It's all good man.
Use Unicode Roman Numerals (U+2160 to U+216B), they are correctly sorted:
Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, Ⅴ, Ⅵ, Ⅶ, Ⅷ, Ⅸ, Ⅹ, Ⅺ, Ⅻ
Reminder that VIIII is a valid way to write 9 in Roman numerals.
What about VIV?
There is historical precedent that the Romans used XIIX for 18, I guess VIV should be fine for 9.
Actually?
Rocky VII, Adrian's Revenge!
Rocky 5000
Yay! Two Spaceballs references in one thread!
Roman numerals, they never even tried to teach us that in school.
Has anyone watched the latest Saw?
I just downloaded, is worth the watch?
I wonder if you could make a context aware sorting system for files. Like if there are a handful of files all similarly named, it could check for sequential numbers and roman numerals and spelled out numbers and just sort them that way.
You can but you'll need either a plugin for your file browser or a custom one
Saucisses is my favourite one
Chaussettes is better IMO.
It's depending if you put your Saw VI in your Saw VII.
It's the MegaMan situation all over again XD
A cool film that used its low budget creatively has been turned into a crappy franchise on par with Halloween and Friday13th. Shame.
Doesn’t Spiral count?
You know what they say, "I before V, except after C". (Or something like that.)
I still remember when Windows File Explorer orders 10 before 2 (I still didn't verify if it still does that and I don't feel like it)
