Default Explorer filename sorting problem - NoStrCmpLogical already present

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 ?

Regards,
Rudy Wieser


NoStrCmpLogical is a policy setting for (Windows) Explorer only.
CMD is never affected and will always use binary compare for sorting.
