I have a sequence of code in an Access Application that loops through files in a specific folder -- using For/Next:

For Each File In Folder.Files
Code
Code
Next

My question is -- what is the order that it sequences through the files, is it alphabetical? Date Modified? Is there a way to change the criteria it uses to determine the order?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You.

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
possibly you could collect the files into a list first, then loop through the ordered list.
