Default Explorer filename sorting problem - NoStrCmpLogical already present

JJ,

NoStrCmpLogical is a policy setting for (Windows) Explorer only.


Than is doubly remarkable that *both* show the same list ....

CMD is never affected and will always use binary compare for sorting.


Please, don't do that. You can see for yourself that it doesn't appear to
do so. :-(

That page seems to have become outdated, as I was met with the (in)famous
"Try searching for what you need. This page doesn't exist." error message.

Hello All,

My file explorer seems to have trouble sorting filenames in an intuitive
way. Just look at the below (listing generated using "dir /one 60.*",

but
the same order appears in Explorer)

60.00.00.32.dds
60.00.00.32.msh
60.00.00.32.nif
60.00.32.32.dds
60.00.-32.32.dds
60.00.32.32.msh
60.00.-32.32.msh
60.00.32.32.nif
60.00.-32.32.nif

I would expect the "60.00.-30.*" entries to come first, followed by the
"60.00.00.*" and "60.00.32.*" groups.

Some time ago (years probably :-) ) I've added the NoStrCmpLogical

setting,
and thought that it was fixed. But apperantly no such luck.

Does anyone know what is going on here -- or better yet, how to fix it ?
