I have done some research on this and I did not see any way you can set the order with a READDIR.
I also saw suggestions to read the directory and manipulate the order manually in the RPG program.

BUT, I still wanted to post something because I have never had this problem before and thought maybe somebody can shed some light on it.
When I list the contents of my folder in windows or with WRKLNK, it shows the entries in the correct order that I want to read them:

Opt Object link Type
. DIR
.. DIR
BK49_1 INDEX.pdf STMF
BK49_2 PG1-PG335_M > STMF
BK49_3 PG336-PG436 > STMF

But the READDIR process the . then the .. then BK49_3 ... then _2 then _1.

TIA
