Feature request: return the user's selection order when choosing multiple files #178

As far as I can tell, when multiple=TRUE in shinyFilesButton, the order of the files returned by parseFilePaths is the order in which they were sorted by the corresponding shinyFiles dialog box, not the order in which they were selected by the user. Is there a way to recover the user's selection order? Thanks.

You may be right. Sounds like an interesting feature to get that information out and would love to see a PR
