Problems with sorting directories

Post by BrianParker »

I can't seem to be able to sort a directory full of folders by name. Whether I choose ascending or descending, there's no effect. It just stays ascending.
I catalog all my pictures by year and month, and would like to reverse the default view by starting with the latest month. Right now I need to scroll down, past all the old stuff, which is sub-optimal.

Yes, I tried it with both numeric and non-numeric option, but no change (Win 7 64; latest stable build of MP).

Works fine for me in v0.84: Sort by > Name Ascending/descending changes the order of the folders.

@BrianParker: Could you please check and confirm the bug fix?
