asterisk users - Sep 2005 - moh - turn off randomization?

Trying to get moh (mp3) not to randomize playback of files, cant figure
out what order it picks. Does not appear to be alphabetical.

I do not have the "r" option in the MOH class, but the files are
played
in an order I can figure out, they do not appear to be random either,
same pattern repeats.

Is it order on the disk or something? Anyone know?

Oh come on, its obvious :-)

Have you figured it out yet?

Yet?

Now?

OK... I'll tell you.

See the order you get when you do 'ls' in that directory? It's that 
order :-) If you want to force the files to play in a particular order, 
add a numeric prefix to each one.

Kevin,

That is what I thought I read somewhere, but it is not so. I will check,
but I THINK that * reads the file names left to right top to bottom and
my FC4 box lists them with an ls top to bottom left to right!

Does * actually collect the file names with an ls? Could this be a small
bug?

I had about 20 short files in the MOH folder (music clips and
advertising clips) I want to get them to alternate, and renaming the
alphabetically should have worked, as that changes the ls order. No go.

I ended up just concatenating the files into larger mp3's in the order I
wanted, this reduced it to 3 files of which I care little about the
order.
