Sorting a FileList object

Question

I am trying to sort input files using the new File API. The list that it returns seems to be immutable:

var x = "";
var files = e.target.files; // FileList object
// Loop through the FileList and render image files as thumbnails.

files.sort();

> Uncaught TypeError: Object #<FileList> has no method 'sort' 

If I want to read in multiple files at once, but I want them to arrive in order. (A.csv is processed before B.csv, etc). Is this achievable?

Answer 1

[].slice.call(files) to make it into a real array, then you can use .sort on it.
