I have a few hundred invoices I want to print, and I want to print
them
in order of filename. If I simply drop them in the print queue, the
don't sort and I can find no way to sort them. Is there an easy way to
do this, or software that does it? As it is, I have to either drag and
drop each individual file in order or open and Print each individual
file in order. A tedious process.

Or is there software for this? I don't want something that has to be
installed office wide, just something I can use.

Hi Grant,

There are a number of FreeWare programs that will do that. As I
recall Nevitium is one.

Also why isn't the application that is generating the invoices doing
all of that for you automatically. A well designed database
application should handle most invoicing situations for you
automatically including recurring invoices.

I'm not looking for new software for invoice generation, I'm looking
for a way to manage items in the print queue (or order them before
they get to the print queue). The invoicing program generates the
invoices as pdfs, everything is fine, they are named consecutively.
It's printing the load of pdfs that is the tricky part.

It seems like it should be a simple thing, but I'm having no luck
finding it.
