What is the order of the files picked in uiget files, when a folder is selected and listed using dir, as i use it to paste in an order in powepoint every time i get a different order being pasted

When i use uiget file or uipickfile, and use those file names to paste it in powerpoint using my code it randomly pastes the files how do I sort the order in which i select the files and the saved order of files which i use in a variable

Simply sort them yourself?

[files path] = uigetfile({'All files (*.*)'},'Select files'MultiSelect','on');
filesSorted = sort(files);
