Sort Job Name Proper

I am trying to sort multiple pdf's using the Sort Files in Job. Here is my issue.

987654-1.pdf
987654-11.pdf
987654-14.pdf
987654-4.pdf
987654-9.pdf

I would like the pdfs to sort like this.

987654-1.pdf
987654-4.pdf
987654-9.pdf
987654-11.pdf
987654-14.pdf

Am I using the correct tool?
Thanks!

You could save a pdf and then using Acrobat and PitStop Pro plugin - you can create an action to do this.

Re: Using Switch Developer Mode

We do have both licenses for Switch; Production & Developer and they are on two separate machines.
How do I test the flows on the Developer side when I have Metadata entered through Client (web submit)?
Thanks!

Re: Using Switch Developer Mode

We do have both licenses. When I have metadata to input - how do I do that when I am unable to use client?

Re: Using Switch Developer Mode

You could "flatten layers preserve look". That should help with the extra layers.

How to reset the counter to 00001?

I have a flow that I am renaming (adding prefix, replacing the Filename proper, and adding a sufix using the counter), but would like to reset the numbering back to 00001. How do I do this? Thank you!

Select Page Please Help

When I try to use Select Page in any way it isn't working. We are currently using PitStop Pro 2020. Is there an issue with the upgrade. I have tried different documents, different flows. We even tried to reinstall PitStop Pro. See my flow below.
