FAQ Sprite Sheet
Why are my sprite sheet frames in the wrong order?
Short answer: Sprite Sheet exports frames in the order you added images to the panel, not by filename — if your source images were named frame1, frame2… but added out of order, the sheet follows the add-order, not the names.
Why it happens
The tool doesn't parse filenames for a sequence number; it treats each imported image as a frame in the order you placed it. A drag-and-drop batch upload can land in whatever order your operating system's file picker returns the files — often alphabetical, but not guaranteed to be on every platform, especially once filenames pass single digits (frame2 can sort after frame10).
How to fix it
- After importing, check the frame strip / thumbnail list and drag frames into the correct order by hand before exporting.
- If you have many frames, name your source files with zero-padded numbers — frame01, frame02… not frame1, frame2 — before importing; most file pickers then return them in the right order, though it's still worth a visual check.
- Use “Preview animation” playback before export so you catch an order mistake before it ends up baked into the final sheet.
Frames landing out of order right now? Open Sprite Sheet in Zurapic and drag them into place in the frame strip.
