I have these files in a folder: "2", "4" and "10" (without " signs). When I let Dolphin sort them by name, it is displayed like this: 10 2 4 or vice versa 4 2 10 This is highly illogical. Instead, it should be 2 4 10 or vice versa 10 4 2
Forgot to add that basically every other file browser sorts like I am proposing.
Do you have "Natural" sorting mode enabled in Dolphin settings? If yes, what is your locale/language setting?
Alphabetical, case insensitive. My locale $ locale LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_ALL= German is also defined language in my Plasma system settings.
Does selecting "Natural" mode help? The alphabetical modes do not use number ordering, so "10" < "2", as in "Ba" < "C".
Yep, natural orders as expected. Thanks! So, I might just have understood the options offered by Dolphin wrong? Or could it be argued that also alphabetical ordering should treat numbers like natural?
The alphabetical options exist for those that do not want numbers treated specially, e.g. for a list of hex hashes. > might just have understood the options offered by Dolphin wrong? Those options should at least have a tooltip; reopening.
Natural sorting is the default now it seems and the other two sorting modes now seem self explanatory to me. Thoughts?
