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.

JJ,

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

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That page seems to have become outdated, as I was met with the (in)famous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.

Default Explorer filename sorting problem - NoStrCmpLogical already present

JJ,

Thanks, I can see the page now. Alas, it only describes the usage of
NoStrCmpLogical, which I have already applied.

Disabeling the setting and re-enabeling it (on both HKCU and HKLM brances)
does not seem to change anything on that folder.

And a funny thing is that it seems to do the same on the second column as it
does (as shown) on the third column. Almost as if it starts to sort on
extension first, only than on the filename. But that shows not to be the
case, as the first column is sorted in order (have more than just those 60.*
files). Rather odd.

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
