Hello, I've seen some posts about sort order, but nothing that seems to address the way by which filenames are sorted according to the language.
Is there a way to select how a group of filenames are sorted? Currently it seems to be by the internal (uni)code for each character...
I have a bunch of filenames in Thai - and they don't seem to be sorting correctly.
I would like to sort using the following order:
บน1
บน2
บ่น1
บ่น2
บ้น1
บ้น2
where the "accented" characters are treated as a higher order level than the numbers.
What I'm getting instead is the following:
บน1
บ่น1
บ้น1
บน2
บ่น2
บ้น2
where the "accented" characters are being treated as kind of equal.
I suppose the Latin equivalent might be something like this:
tourne1
tourné1
tourne2
tourné2
so how would I set the sort order to be, say:
tourne1
tourne2
tourné1
tourné2

Sort order comes from your Windows locale settings. You should see the same order in Opus and File Explorer (at least in most places).
