XnView Software

I really enjoy working with XNView. It's an exellent app. However, I have 1 remark about it.

Obviously, XNView uses "intuitive filename sorting", as WinXP and 2003 use by default. This means that a file called "File 5" comes before "File 10" because 5 comes before 10.

However, in WinXP/2003 you can change the filename sorting to "literal sorting" (the default of Win2k and earlier), which means that "File 10" comes before "File 5" because 1 comes before 5 (which I personalle find far more logical).

I tried to find an option to change this in XNView but I couldn't find it. I think it would be most logical that XNView follows the Windows setting in this respect. However, it doesn't.

Does somebody knows a way to solve this?

Use sort by name (numeric)

Unfortunately, I cannot find where to change this option.

Can I set this in a generic way (for the whole program) or can it only be done for a specific task/project?

The point for me is that XnView doesn't follow the order in which the files are shown in explorer.

In the browser, menu View/Arrange by

Thanks very much!

So setting it there works also for other parts of the program!
