Hello Wilfred!

 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. ;)
