    That is not what you want as same number is in file suffix.   
    But acually there is only one case where it is needed.   
      
    From one source two updates are received on Wednesday, one with the Wednesday   
    daynumber and one with the Friday daynumber. If succesive updates are   
    available, on Thursdays the Friday daynumber will be preferred when the sort   
    is made on suffix. Sorting on c-date would solve this. For the odd occation   
    where the above is the case, it is probably not worth the effort to   
    have it implemented. I think Ward will agree. ;)
