Code: Select all
nconvert -out tiff -multi -c 7 -overwrite -o C:\tiff\ccc.tif C:\tiff\*.png

The problem, as I understand it, is that code run at the command line in Windows uses the 'DOS' and early Windows non-numeric sort order, and there doesn't seem to be any way to change that...
The only solution I am aware of is to renumber the source files before using NConvert to add 'padding' so that the files are numbered 001 002 003 ... using a *Windows* renaming utility, of which there are many, although you should also be able to rename the files using the batch renaming tools in XnView Classic or MP.
Renaming the source files in NConvert or a command line renaming utility doesn't overcome the problem, as the same sort order issue arises so the files are again read in the 'wrong' order.
