Sequencing data in the loop (*.CSV files)

Hi,

the sequence of Output is not ok. How can I keep the data in sequnce. Kindly advise what I am missing ?

*.CSV files are like "D1.CSV, D2.CSV, D3.CSV............................D35.CSV"

The output file is not following this sequence.

files = dir('Data\*.CSV') ;  
%files = natsortfiles({files.name}); %natsortfiles external Add In
N = length(files) ; 
Output = cell(N,1) ; 
for i = 1:N
   
    Output{i} = readmatrix(files(i).name) ; 
end

Advise please.

"How can I keep the data in sequnce."

Either use sufficient leading zeros in the filenames OR sort the filenames alphanumerically.

Kindly advise what I am missing ?"

files = dir('Data\*.CSV');
files = natsortfiles(files); % <- this

Yes, thankyou for correction. I was applying 'natsortfiles' unnecessarily using '.name'. Issue resolved thanks.
