Unwanted image display order

Post by mysh »

I have some image in a folder, with name like "a (1).jxl" , "a (2).jxl" , ...
when I press key DOWN on "a (1).jxl", it goes to "a (10).jxl".
what could I do to go to "a (2).jxl", or will it recognize the real order ?

in windows you can get files with such names when you select several files and rename one.

In the file browser, View > Sort by, threes setting in three sections separated by fine lines... :D

Yes, this same question was just very recently asked in another thread.

"Name - Numeric order" will do what you want. You currently have it set to one of the other options. You'll see a little dot appear next to the currently selected method.
