first I want to thank you making DOpus such a great tool, which I use every day.
Version 13.16 and 13.16.6 beta, Windows 10
Now the problem: When sorting a folder by name, which contains subfolders with a leading '0', the leading '0' seems to be ignored (see screenshot). Sorting works as expected when sorting by short name.
To apply the change to all folders, use Settings > Set Lister Defaults after making the change. (Or see Folder Formats: Quick Guide for other methods.)
When numeric sorting is on, you don't get the sort you want because the folder names are a mix of numbers and characters. (Numeric sorting works with decimal numbers, not hex.) For example, when 1f and 02 are compared, they'll be treated as:
1 followed by an f
2 followed by nothing
Since 1 < 2, 1f comes first.
(File Explorer does exactly the same by default, FWIW.)
With numeric sorting turned off, they'll be compared like strings without any special interpretation of the numbers.
This reminds me of the issue that the numeric sort checkbox is only available for the filename column. Would be nice to allow it for any column in the future. See Numeric order sorting for columns other than filename?. Thanks.
This thread is about not wanting numeric sorting. Adding a side conversation about wanting it in more places is just going to make things harder to follow.
(Evaluator columns let you apply custom sorting to other columns, too.)
