Sorting by type: 'application' should be above 'application extension'

Post by Zigo »

If I sort my file list by type, I'd expect to see files of type 'application' to appear before files of type 'application extension'.

Explorer behaves this way, and I would expect XYplorer to as well.

Basically, if I'm in a folder where an application lives, I don't want to have to scroll past all the dll files to find the actual exe file.

Note: this behaviour is the same regardless of the 'sort method' setting

Until there is a fix, apply a (regex) pattern in e.g. the live filter box:
>.+\.exe$

Indeed, that was a side effect of:

Code: Select all

v23.70.0002 - 2022-09-27 11:45
    * List: Now when sorting by a Type that combines various extensions, eg "JPEG image", 
      then all files with the same extensions (eg first all JPG, then all JPEG) are 
      grouped together and then (secondary-)sorted by the filename.
      Previously, they were all mixed and just (secondary-)sorted by the filename.
Fixed in next beta.
