Hey 🙂

![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/6/9/69166e683f2c17e94896b4e001932d0ab138b63d.png)

Both of these lists contain the same file names, except the one on the right has more in the strings than just the information in the left list (file paths).

They are both ordered differently from each other.

Is there a way to rearrange the order of the one on the right to mach the order of the one on the left?

I’m trying to match up two different sources of data… unsuccessfully so far.

Or if this is somehow easier to do with more information on the left strings, that would work as well.

(All of the file names leading up to the .jpgs are different)

Thanks!!
