As I said in my earlier e-mail, I think the filename sort logic is skewed.
|<<< behaviour reflects sub-string cutoff for
number sort logic

sort after 200410PeterFrohn95thBirthday02withFamily.jpg
in a number of file managers. I'm guessing something like Beattie is
presenting.
Erics suggestion that the preferences might be adjustable doesn't seem

any help. I'm of the opinion that the presentation order counts as a
bug unless
someone can offer a clear reason (and presumably a workaround).
Fortunately,
Double Commander does a nice job!

Sorting is not as easy as it might seem, nor is plain text. This video
