Find Files (Info Panel)

XY - v23.80.0302

The result set will not sort ascending or descending on the "Path" (column) of 929 folders (from an folders only all locations). However, "Name" column appears to sort correctly.

Looks like it's secondary-sorted by Path. So it's okay as it is.

Is this behavior caused by "Sort Folders Apart = Enabled" (secondary sorting) setting?

It would be easier to explain if you showed the whole list in your screenshot.

I'd expect to see the Find File order by:

Path ^ | Name
TEST FOLDER 1 | NESTED FOLDER A
TEST FOLDER 2 | NESTED FOLDER A
TEST FOLDER 4 | NESTED FOLDER A
TEST FOLDER 1 | NESTED FOLDER B
TEST FOLDER 2 | NESTED FOLDER B
TEST FOLDER 4 | NESTED FOLDER B
TEST FOLDER 1 | NESTED FOLDER C
TEST FOLDER 2 | NESTED FOLDER C
TEST FOLDER 4 | NESTED FOLDER C

But I get:

ASCENDING (JUST CLICKING THE COLUMN "PATH":

DESCENDING (JUST CLICKING THE COLUMN "PATH":

I cannot figure out what is being sorted and the methodology. Obviously, I'm not understanding it. If there was a multi-level sort by, sort by, it would be represented visually in the column heading as to 'see' the sorting effect.

I'd expect to see the Find File order by:

Path ^ | Name
TEST FOLDER 1 | NESTED FOLDER A
TEST FOLDER 2 | NESTED FOLDER A
TEST FOLDER 4 | NESTED FOLDER A
TEST FOLDER 1 | NESTED FOLDER B
TEST FOLDER 2 | NESTED FOLDER B
TEST FOLDER 4 | NESTED FOLDER B
TEST FOLDER 1 | NESTED FOLDER C
TEST FOLDER 2 | NESTED FOLDER C
TEST FOLDER 4 | NESTED FOLDER C

I would not expect this order, and I don't get it. I get this (and I would expect it):

And this when I sort by Name:

Not sure why I had:

"Configuration > General > Sort and Rename > Sort > Sort folders always ascending = ENABLED"

Obviously, It's time for me to go through the entire Configuration settings and re-educate myself.

Thank you!
