I don´t use python that often and I´m kind of new to it. I have a lot af layers in a single folder and I need to merge all the layers that starts and ends with the same character. I´ve done it manually before but it takes too much time to select the layers one by one through the merge tool and I have tried to use python to do it semiautomated, with Listfeatureclasses and wildcards and then continue to merge them, but it was also timeconsuming. It also seems like a waste of time to do it "my way" every time there are new updates. I have tried to find a solution to my problem online and I searched through forums, but I´ve found nothing yet (maybe I´m searching for the wrong things). Below is a printscreen of a small part of my folder, so there are many more layers starting with other characters than e and h. Can I somehow with python  group them and merge those that have the same filetype and characters (not middle characters)? If this question already exist with an answer please let me know ...

I´m trying to make routes out of existing roads. My problem is that no matter what I do to the line segments are in the wrong order. I´m working with a multipart shapefile. I need 1 feature for a whole road, with the same roadnumber and to do that I dissolved the lines that share the same roadnumber. But that does not let me choose in what order they are placed. I wished it would have started with where the road starts (from what direction it was drawn) but that was not the case. I tried dissolving, I´ve flipped the lines to be in the same direction. I´ve manually tried to merge them in an edit session and even split them to dissolve them again hoping arcmap would rearenge the order. Those are the solutions I came across from different forums so far and they do not work. I´ve found nothing that helps when googling and I´m new to python so don´t know if I could do this in python somehow. so right now I´m stuck with redrawing the lines by tracing those features that are in the wrong order and going through every feature to see in what order the segments are. Some suggest using the unsplit tool as an option, but sadly i don´t have the license to use it, but reading about it I can´t tell if that is the right solution and it doesn´t help me since I can´t use it. Are there anyway to reorder the segments. feels like it is something that should be possible to do. I even have problems with roundabouts, but those segments it´s easier to manipulate the measurements after I´ve created the routes if I need them to be correct. But my main problem is visualized in the picture. The red vertex that indicates the end point, is in the middle (shown here in the upper end of the pic)  but it should be located at the southest endpoint of the road. ... View more
