about sorting

Post by MrYang »

After I set it to "Textual", is there any way to put "2.txt" in front of "11.txt"?

Natural sort order does this?

File sorting needs to be set to "Textual", which I hope will not be changed. (without changing the setting of "Textual". Is there any other way?)

Thank you.

From the help file:
· Natural: Results in a textual sort order, except that multi-digit numbers are ordered according to their numeric value. Also known as "intuitive filename sorting".
That sounds like what you're after?

Thank you.

If "Natural" is set, why should "WinRAR 压缩文件" be ahead of "Windows 批处理文件"? I hope "WinRAR 压缩文件" is behind "Windows 批处理文件".

This problem started with version 20.10.0000. Version 20.00.0000 does not have this problem.

I see that too, you're right: textual sorts correctly, natural doesn't. It may have to do with case (WinRar), but that contradicts the help file (sorts work the same other than multiple-digits sorting).

I just noticed.

"Natural" is set.

Sort by "Type", "WinRAR 压缩文件" is in front of "Windows 批处理文件".
Sort by "Name", "Windows.txt" is in front of "WinRAR.txt".

It seems inconsistent. Why?

So the problem is only in the Type column?

I haven't found it anywhere else. Can you reproduce this problem?

(It's 12 o'clock in the evening. I'll come back tomorrow morning to pay attention to this problem. Thank you.)

Yes, it will work in the next beta release.
