Default filebrowser sorting on name -- doesn't quite do it ...

Hello Ken,

I'm not that hexadecimal knowledgeable/competent, but could that
be "oh four" rather than "zero four"?


What you see is indeed a 4-byte hexadecimal value, and this one actually
starts with 'zero four' (I'm generating those filenames myself).
Thanks for the "could be causing it" suggestion though.

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

Hello All,

Just the other day I re-noticed that the filebrowser (file explorer)

doesn't
quite display the filenames in ASCI order. Example:

....
4FB99E33.DAT
4FCD66DC.DAT
04FD1641.DAT
....

It looks like Windows sorting-mechanism simply ignores the leading Zero

.....

Question: Is there a setting with which that last filename is again

placed
(in this example) at the top (sorts in simple alphabetical/ASCII order)

?

I'm not that hexadecimal knowledgeable/competent, but could that be "oh
four" rather than "zero four"?
