In multipart rar, is there any way to determine the order of files except by filename?

Suppose I had a RAR archive split in several smaller files and the names of the resulting files have later on been changed.

Is there any way to determine the correct order of files?


Solution 1:

Open any filepart in winrar, then get the information of the file (Alt+I).

No matter what the file name is, it will show you the order of file (volume 1, volume 2...). Rename the file parts as it was shown.

Solution 2:

You can get the volume number with unrar, given that the info is present in the archive header:

unrar l myarchive.rar

The volume shows up in the lower right corner of the output:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0                0 101753210   0%       volume 118
                                               ↑↑↑

To specify a password, use the following:

unrar l -pmypassword myarchive.rar
