How to upload first file after sorted ascending order?

Describe the problem/error/question

In my workflow I made it to extract a zip file and then sort filename in alphabetical order. How do I upload the first file after it’s been sorted cause file_0 is no longer the first file so I don’t know which file_x is the the first file.

What is the error message (if any)?

Please share your workflow

Hi @Ruriko, welcome!

You can use the Limit node to keep only the first item,

FYI, the Decompress node always outputs an additional file, which I think you’ll need to ignore it,

BTW, I redesigned the workflow without using a Code node, in case this is what you were looking for:

Feel free to edit it to suit your needs, or just use your own workflow if you get the idea.
