XnView Software

What can I do to get the Next/previous file buttons to show files in the order they occur in Windows Explorer (alphabetical, for instance)?

Thanks,

you need to choose sort method in browser

If you mean XnView > Tools > Options > Browser, I cannot find anything there about sorting. My Windows Explorer (actually, a replacement, DOpus; extremely good) is sorted alphabetically (all jpg files). Kindly advise.

Hello again:

I now realize that XnView sort differently than DOpus. Here is show XnView sorts:

0001-b.jpg
0001.jpg
0002-b.jpg
0002.jpg
0003-b.jpg
0003.jpg

which, I must say, is somewhat strange.

Have you looked at the browser View > Sort By options Name and Name (numeric) ?

cday, had missed that , because it shows up only if you open XnView directly. And, in the list that shows up there, it makes no difference if I have Name or Name (numeric): the order in that display is the way I want it, namely

0001.jpg
0001-b.jpg
0002.jpg
0002-b.jpg

However, when I open XnView by clicking on a jpg file, first, under View, there is no Sort, and, second, whether I have set Sort to Name or Name (numeric), it sorts

0001-b.jpg
0001.jpg
0002-b.jpg
0002.jpg


However, I get correct sorting if I have

0001.jpg
0001_b.jpg
0002.jpg
0002_b.jpg

(underscore instead of hyphen).

^ I can confirm this wrong sort order when starting XnView directly in view mode.

Tested with XnView v2.33 (2015-06-18) on Windows 7 64 bit SP1.

Thanks for testing and posting, Karl. I'm sure Pierre (developer?) reads this.

Thanks, Pierre.
