sort by second part

Post by *warem »

Assume that there are many directories, named like this: first part is a number, second part is name.

32101 Naiman
33125 Anping
.
.

In default, they are sorted by the number of the first part. Is any a plugin or function that can sort the directories by the second part, say, by alphabetical sort? It is easy for human brain to remember English name rather than a number assigned by computer.

Thank you.

Yes, my "filesys" content plugin has such an option:

You can use it in custom columns view:
Filesys - CutNameStart - 6.

However, this will only work when the number part has fixed width like in the above example.

You can give your own seperators in the plugin.
