Description scottf 2002-04-14 11:58:48 UTC

(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kdf
Version:           v0.5 (using KDE 3.0.0 )
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Red Hat Linux 7.2.92
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.2 2.96-109)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.17-xfs
OS/Compiler notes: 

In kdf the partition size and free space columns are sorted incorrectly. They appear to be sorted based on the alphanumeric value of free space. For example sorting by free space might result in tehis order:

1 GB
2 kb
3 TB
4 MB
5 bytes

The m/k/T/G is not taken into account when sorting.

Appears to be fixed alread.

Comment 2 Raga Prong 2004-05-08 23:15:58 UTC

I can confirm this bug as unsolved with version 0.5 (Kde 3.2.2/debian/unstable)

Comment 3 scottf 2004-05-09 01:21:09 UTC

broken v0.5 in 3.2.1 on fedora core 1. I suspect the fault lies with the default behaviour of the list box, and not of KDFs, but surely KDF can over-ride the sort mechanism for any given column.

Well, I don't think, KDE's list box was deviced especially to sort file sizes. Usually you have numerical vs. alphanumeric orders - none of which apply here.
Hence, KDF _must_ override the sorting. Therefor, I plea for re-opening the bug - unless its fix is reported here.

P.S.scott is able to re-open the bug as you are the original reporter!

The last bug report on the issue of incorrect size sort in v.05 of KDiskFree is
dated 2002. Although marked Resolved this bug is very much alive! 

The attached image (still) illustrates size sort is wrong

.5 currently shipping with kde-redhat and kubuntu behaves as expected. Looks like this may be system specific, rather than a general bug.
