File sorting issues.

Post by Janus »

Does anyone besides me hate that explorer++ sorts things taking human readable numbers into account?
Yet another of the same stupid "features" that helped hold me back from Win7.

I want things sorted by strictly the ascii values, not human readable numbers.
So I went into the sort procedures within sortmanager.cpp and replaced StrCmpLogicalW with StrCmpI everywhere.
Recompiled, and now I get sane sorts that actually put things in order I both expect, and want.

I will soon be doing the same everywhere.
Tree, group, branch, all of it.
If anyone is interested, I can post a list of where I made changes when I am done.

I did implement something like that about two years ago. See https://explorerplusplus.com/forum/view ... f=2&t=1794

These are available as options in 'Tools', 'Options...', 'Files and Folders' tab (at the bottom):
[x] Display mixed files and folders
[x] Sort names in non-logical order
