Description Neal Becker 2008-02-01 12:44:24 UTC
Version:           3.5.8-30.fc8 Fedora (using 3.5.8-19.fc8 Fedora, Fedora release 8 (Werewolf))
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-redhat-linux
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.23.14-107.fc8

The screenshot clearly shows that sort by modified date is broken.  Look at the first 4 lines.  The first 2 entries are out of order with respect to the subsequent ones.

Can't reproduce this bug in trunk (svn rev. 815196)

I can confirm this bug (or is it a feature?) in kde 3.5.9 and trunk r815688 .

This happens because they are different types of files. The first two are hidden, and the rest are not. This also happens with folders (and hidden folders) because they are treated differently.

This is indeed intentional - KDirSortFilterProxyModel is designed to always show hidden files above others.

This will be configurable for not-hidden folders in KDE 4.3 (see bug 62007). In principle, the same could be done for hidden files, but I'm not sure if it's worth the effort...

Anyway, I'll change summary, severity and product because Konqueror uses Dolphin's file management code now.

I'd like to close this request and not make an option for this: The bug is open for nearly 3 years and we got no single other request for this.
