Alphanumeric Order

Sat Apr 16, 2016 2:23 pm
Hi,

Today I was putting together all my notes from university and when I named it I realized that the alphanumeric order doesn't work like I expected. With the following files names:
  • T00
  • T01
  • T011
  • T02
  • T10
  • T12
I expected dolphin order them like I wrote but it takes the "T011" like "T11" and dolphin order them like the next way:
  • T00
  • T01
  • T02
  • T10
  • T011
  • T12
Because first index them by the (letter) T, secondly by the first number (0), after that for the second number (1) and for the last the following characters in order.
I wrong with any of this idea or anyway to change the order in dolphin because T011 for me is not T11.

Thanks

The point of the default "natural" sorting is to interpret digits as numbers and treat 011 the same as 11.

You can disable this in dolphin's settings (General), though.

settings -> configure Dolphin -> general -> sorting mode -> Alphabetical sorting (either)
