Subject: [AE] sequence import newbie help

I've never really needed to import sequences before, and I'm a bit confused on how to handle importing a sequence of stills that are in order numerically but the numbering itself is not contiguous (i.e., we had to delete some of the in-between frames).

These are a series of animation shots --  in one example, 360 frames total in a folder and I need to import 14 of them as one particular scene and shot.

It appears I cannot select a sub-set of the files in a folder for import as a sequence and force alphabetical order. It always wants to import the whole folder of files as the sequence in spite of my selection. Do I have to place each specific scene and shot in its own folder to be able to force alphabetical order? Or what am I missing here?

If the online help talks specifically about this I've missed it.

Thanks much,

James
