I have an array that will have these values. Each value is part of a file name. I need to keep the highest (numerically) 5 files and delete the rest. What is the easiest to sort the array.
Break each file name into fields and sort by most significant field to least. Use the Schwartzian Transform <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwartzian_Transform> to sort.
