SUMMARY gwenview will only use Natural sort order for names STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. mkdir x 2. cd x 3. touch 20190123456.jpg 202020.jpg 2021.jpg 201901.jpg 202020.jpg 202112345.jpg 4. in dolphin change sort order to Alphabetical 5. view location x in gwview OBSERVED RESULT 2021.jpg 201901.jpg 202020.jpg 202112345.jpg 20190123456.jpg which is Natural order EXPECTED RESULT 20190123456.jpg 201901.jpg 202020.jpg 202112345.jpg 2021.jpg which is Alphabetical SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Fedora Linux 36 KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.96.0 Qt Version: 5.15.5 Kernel Version: 5.18.16-200.fc36.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION from what i've been able to find researching this, gwenview is suppose to use the Dolphin sort order setting. In this cause it is not, it is stuck on Natural. I found no open upstream bugs on this so filing with fedora first. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1991162
Step 4. Dolphin settings - General - Behavior. Sorting mode. The Alphabetical order in Dolphin is a bit different: 201901.jpg 20190123456.jpg 202020.jpg 2021.jpg 202112345.jpg Can reproduce. There are two things however: Currently Gwenview does not have ability to use individual sorting per folder (see Bug 466602). Currently following Dolphin sorting when opening image from Dolphin is partly broken (see Bug 466836). Anyway, I introducing setting to sort Alphabetically/Naturally not worth it in Gwenview. If it will follow dolphin folder (maybe per folder), it will be ok. I will close as duplicate and mention in another bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 466836 ***
