0.21: Folder tree wrongly sorted

[Danny]

In WinXP SP3 the folders in the folder tree pane are not being sorted alphabetically. But that only seems to happen for FAT32 partitions. My NTFS partitions are being sorted from a-z.

Hello !

In WinXP SP3 the folders in the folder tree pane are not being sorted alphabetically. But that only seems to happen for FAT32 partitions. …

• Confirmed here under XP-Pro SP1 as well. It seems that the folder are shown like on the hard-disk (DOS style !)…

… My NTFS partitions are being sorted from a-z.

• Right, but with a damper : We don't get a Full natural sorting since the following folders are shown at the end i.e.

ZZ
_aaa
_bbb
…
À
Ä
etc.

• Thus, still the same lame behaviour than in the classic XnView versions, never really fixed…

You means no natural sorting in the tree view? In thumbnails view, it's ok right (XnViewMP)?

Hello !

• Yes, we are indeed talking of the sort order in the tree, it's the topic of this Danny's thread.
- The tumb nails are sorted OK (both in FAT32 and NTFS drives), including the folders names starting with diacritics.
- I can also confirm again that in FAT32 the tree looks “unsorted” (the items are shown like they are on the hard-disk).

Please, could you test XnViewMP 0.25

Hello !

• Fixed in MP 0.25, thanks ! The sorting is correct both with FAT 32 and NTFS drives.
