[10.52] TC does not sort by name in search result panel

[beb]

TC 10.52 64 bit @ Win10 64bit

1. search [Alt F7] for something (for "wget" in the instance)
2. opt for the "Feed to listbox" option upon the search gets over
3. try to sort by name
- Sort method: Natural sorting: alphabetical and numbers
- View mode: Custom: Name Ext Size Date [https://i.imgur.com/vTjSQoZ.png]

The sorting results are being rendered in unpredictable/random way [https://i.imgur.com/qnbXGbS.png]

As you can see,
- in the left panel [common view] the sorting behaves as it has to [files are sorted by the prescribed order].
- in the right panel [search results] the sorting is a mess.

Maybe it is related to this: viewtopic.php?t=77912

What happens if you reverse the sorting and then reverse it back - is it still randomly sorted?

Yes. The sorting [by name] is random all the way, either initially or upon reversing back and forth.
The same is with sorting by extension.
Only sorting by size and date works as intended.

By the way, I have had an idea and just checked to see if it would get confirmed.
The answer is simple and here it is:
Within the "Search result" panel (upon the "Feed to listbox" command) Total Commander is actually sorting files by the full names, not just by names (as expected).
That's it.

Edit:

Explanation:
1. Taking my current custom columns set [Name][Ext][=tc.size.bkMG2][=tc.writedate.D-M-Y h:m]
2. Adding [=tc.name][=tc.path][=tc.fullname] to it
3. Trying sorting and see what happens:

• Sorting by [=tc.fullname] and by [=tc.path] works as intended
• Sorting by [Name] gives the same result as by [=tc.fullname] and/or by [=tc.path]
  that is not meant to be; that's why the [Name] sorting looks random (unless you can see the path parts and understand what's going on)
• Sorting by [=tc.name] works as intended and gives the proper result
  (as it is expected to be rendered with sorting by [Name] but the latter does fail)

NB Along with that, [=tc.fullname] that itself meant to output the file name including its full path is actually rendering only a "file name" part without a "full path."
Thus, I may assume that within the "Search results" panel:
- [Name] field behaves like [=tc.fullname] instead of to be and to act as [=tc.name]
- In its turn [=tc.fullname] is visually dropping off the [=tc.path] part hence gaining its look alike [=tc.name] (only comes along with .extension), but still acts as though it's a complete [=tc.fullname] and just cannot perform the function of [=tc.name] in the [Name] field*

Edit 2:
* [=tc.fullname] behaves like that not only within the "Search result" panel but in the common panels too.

tc.fullname means the file name including its full path, i.e. the file's absolute path. tc.name is the file name only, i.e. without path.

So the above definition is no more a thing so far.

Yes, that's correct.
