EXIT

[Incroyable HULK]

too much zero!

isn't 0010 executed before 001 ?

[MHz]

Nah, not random. I agree with Incroyable HULK

The order will be

001
0010
0011
0012
0013
0014
0015
0016
0017
0018
0019
002
003
004
005
0050
006
007
008
009

The preceding 0s does affect the order. Use the same amount of digits for each entry. If you have less then 100 entries, then 3 digits will be fine. More then 100 but less then 1000, then 4 would be good.

You could do that. That is 2 digits for each entry that you show.
i.e. 01,02,03,04,05....14,15,16,17.....

When I used to use RunOnce I always incremented in 5s, i.e. 005, 010, 015 that way if I added new programs I didn't need to keep altering the numbers of the ones already there

thats wut the gued said, i just added some extra 0's b/c i wasnt paying attention or something like that
