fill IN ARRAY A FILE NAME IN DIR

[sal21]

Possible to fill an array with a sorted file in dir, by name of state?

[HansV]

Loop through the folder and fill an array with the file names.
In the loop, also extract the country name and fill a second array with the country names.
Then, sort the country name array in ascending order and sort the file name array at the same time.

Or you could use an ArrayList with a custom sort method ... (just to be clear - you don't have to write the sort routine)
