Alphabetical/alphanumeric sorting of files is strange in TC

Post by *michaelbeijer »

Directory Opus displays my files like this:

image1.png
image2.png
image3.png
image4.png
image5.png
...
image10.png
image11.png
image12.png
etc.

While TC does this:

image1.png
image10.png
image11.png
image12.png
image13.png
image2.png
image3.png
image3.png
image3.png

I really don’t like this. Is there any way I can change it?

Duh! Probably should have looked around a bit before asking. Anyway, thanks!

BTW default TC sorting was here many years before (e.g. in DOS, it is a simple string sorting by character codes: note that '.' is less than '0') natural sorting (which only can sort decimal numbers and makes a huge mess in case of hex numbers)...
