XnView MP Windows 0.98.4 64bit
Windows 10 Home Version 20H2

Hello,

I want to sort my folder just like in Windows Explorer.

The order I want is: 1, 2, 3,..., 10, 11

I already tried View - Sort - Name-numeric order, but it doesn't work. My folders are still sorted: 1, 10, 11,..., 2, 20

When I tested it on image files, the sorting works correctly. But seems like it doesn't work for folders.

As you can see on the screenshot, the files are sorted 1, 2, 11 but the folders are sorted 85, 86, 87, 9

Is this a bug or intended behaviour? If it's not a bug, can I request to make the sorting also works for folders?

Thanks

I've checked, I think it is fixed now. Thank you.

Btw, what is the difference between sort "Name - normal order" and "Name - alphabetic"? I've tried to search on forum but couldn't find an answer.

'Normal' use system sort
