0.64 win-x64: strange sorting with some characters
Hello, I noticed that when the names of files contain some characters XnViewMP sorts them pretty strange. Here is some examples.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_alphabet The picture above demonstrates how it must be sorted (it's screenshot from Windows File Explorer). And here is how XnViewMP sorts them:
Strange, but when I sort it by name (not numeric) they're sorted as it should be. But this is not what I want because it's not numeric sorting, so 100.jpg goes before 19.jpg.
XnViewMP sorting acts weird not only with russian characters. Here is how one folder with pictures looks like in Windows:
And how it looks like in XnViewMP:
There's a problem with dash, I guess. And there must be other characters the program has problem with.
That's the list of the files with names consisting of letters from russian alphabet: Re: 0.64 win-x64: strange sorting with some characters
Yes - I confirm this bug. It happens with Greek characters also. Yes, it seems that, beside some non-latin chars, the programs put in front the "_" as well as the shortcuts (lnk files).

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 0.66 or later. Could you please try and confirm the bug fix, ManOnTheStreet?
