File numbering display on shared links.

I have sent a link to a client who wants some edits - she's come back and said she wants files 1, 3 , 7 , 15 and 29 - these aren't file numbers so I'm assuming she has a different view of the files that are numbered by dropbox, say, 1 thru 99 ? ... how do I get that view so I know which files she means ?

 

thank you

    I think I've worked it out - if you go in to individual view then the has numerical - as in "1 of 113"

    There is no such view. Files in a shared link are displayed alpha-numerically. Could she just be counting down from the top?

        Ah, you're referring to the file previews, rather than the the normal file list.
