XYplorer Beta Club
Hey - ever since I switched to the 64-bit version of XYplorer (28.10.0300 @ Windows 10) sorting by the extension will incorrectly & randomly re-sort folder names that start with digits although they should just be left as is as they have no extension and therefore require no sorting. For example:
1_Folder A
2_Folder B
3_Folder C
4_Folder D
...after sorting by extension they are re-sorted (even if they should be left as is) like...
3_Folder C
4_Folder D
1_Folder A
2_Folder B
Since folders have no extension whatsoever, they should be left as is instead of reordering randomly, which makes no sense (I don't know if this has anything to do with viewtopic.php?t=29345 )

2) Your Windows Version (e.g., Win 11)
3) Your Screen Scaling Percentage (e.g., 125%).
We strongly recommend adding your Windows Version and Screen Scaling Percentage to the Location field in your Profile or to your Signature. That way, you only have to type them once, and we won't have to search for that vital information.

Re: Extension sorting with numbered folders bugged in x64 version
Yeah, good find! 
Since 20251208. Pretty fundamental bug caused by a surprising and undocumented return of a new API I'm using. This is the stuff AI doesn't know because the internet doesn't, and as long as AI doesn't experiment with reality itself, instead of just reading about it, it will never find out.
