I need to add a six digit sequence number to a line of text. The sequence number needs leading zeros. This is so it can be sorted in reverse order after the file has the correct sequence number.
This is what I have now:
text 1
text 2
text 3
text 4
What I need is:
text 000001
text 000002
text 000003
text 000004
So it can then be sorted like this:
text 000004
text 000003
text 000002
text 000001
Any help would be appreciated.

I think that the text may be different, but the length is the same.
The problem is that you may sort text by whole lines and leading symbols have priority.
So, we need to place number into begin of line -> sort the text -> remove leading numbers.
Look at this example: sort by numbers at the end of line.tsk
This task does the following:
- extracts the number from the end of each line
- adds leading zeros
- makes such lines in the text: 000003text 000003
- sorts the text
- removes leading numbers
Save the task into a file and use menu Task -> Import to import into RoboTask
