Description Harly 2025-12-10 14:32:55 UTC
SUMMARY
If a folder has a dot in the name it doesn't sort them with the other folders, or correctly
I sort by file extension

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. View directory with folders both with and without a dot (".") in their name, e.g. Proton 1.13
2. See folders incorrectly ordered
3. Sort by file extension with the option to sort folders first and see what I see

OBSERVED RESULT
Folders with a dot in their name are first, where they are sorted by what is after the dot
Then the other folders are in their respective correct order

EXPECTED RESULT
Folder with a dot in their name are sorted alphabetically together with the other folders
