[OS X TeX] Opening many files in order

[David Watson]

The way MacOSX sorts is by dictionary order, so you will see files 1,  
2, ..., 10 as:

1
10
2
3
...

If you wanted them to open in numerical order, then you can achieve  
that by naming them with sufficient leading zeroes to force the  
dictionary order to match:

01
02
...
09
10
