why this file order (space before none)

Post by *Michael REMY »

hi,

shall you help me to understand why TC order my files like that :

Careless Whisper
Careless Whisper (instru alt)
Careless Whisper (instru)


whereas i should have this order :
Careless Whisper
Careless Whisper (instru)
Careless Whisper (instru alt)


i don't understand why TC considers the space before the none (no character)

i use TC 8.52a under Win7 x64 French system.

Thank for your tips.
i'm an old long user of TC since the windows 3.11 release !, for the history, i came to tc when i migrate from amiga commodore to PC where they are diskmanager and directory opus there.

Just look a bit more exactly: It is "space" before ")"

ASCII 32 = Space
ASCII 41 = )

This means "Space" is less than ")" which is sorted correctly ...

Not here - I get this in Windows Explorer (testet under Win 7 and Win 10):

Careless Whisper
Careless Whisper (instru alt)
Careless Whisper (instru)

May you sorted by size or date in Explorer...?

no i am not, i re-checked it.

i think we have a different charset encodage and localization (mine in France), so i guess windows takes care of that to determine the right sort method...
