Description Pascal Cavy 2002-02-18 15:08:40 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kmail
Version:           1.3.9 (using KDE 2.9.0 2 (3.0 beta2))
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Mandrake Linux 8.1 i586 - Vitamin
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Mandrake Linux 8.1 2.96-0.62mdk)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.17-16mdkenterprise
OS/Compiler notes: 

I used to create some folders in kmail with an '@' at the beginning of their name in order to put them on top of the list of folders. This does not work anymore.

snapshot included.

For me (current KMail cvs) it still seems to work. I have the following=20
folders in this order:
 test (the first character of the folder name is a space)
@test
_inbox2
aaa

How are the folders sorted for you? Please resubmit the snapshot. Does=20
clicking on the column title (Folders) help?

This locale aware sorting is also in the latest qt-copy and it's at least in 
most cases a great feature and not a bug.

At least for me it sorts now ignoring the @ character:
aaa
@bbb
ccc

We can of course disable this by reimplementing QListViewItem::compare but 
then also special characters like umlauts are again sorted wrong as before 
and I don't think that this is worth to loose this functionality just for 
the few people that want to prefix their folder names with spaces or @ 
characters to force the sorting order.

That would need documenting on the front page presentation of all KDE 
applicatoins then.

Anyway the main advandage is of course that things like this are sorted 
correctely now:
nnn
oaa
öbb
occ
ppp
ÃÃÃ
ttt

intead of 
nnn
oaa
occ
ppp
ttt
öbb
ÃÃÃ
