Under the
Tools > Settings - View - File/folder list - Sorting
users have a choice of the sort order they want to use. Aside from handy additional adjustments like Sort folders always by name or Folders like files the "core" / most profound choice is narrowed down to just 3 ways; which are:
● Alphabetical - string sort
● Alphabetical - word sort
● Natural sorting (as Explorer)
But in e.g. Notepad++ under the
Edit > Line Operations
there is much more options to choose from. And in e.g. Mp3tag users I able to adjust the sort order of any Column - and thus I for example use very needed by me rules of audio file listing like these:
Code: Select all
$replace(%_FILENAME_EXT%,'[',_01,';',_02,'+',_03,'{',_04,'(',_05,'#',_06)
All in all there is inconsistent sorting order in two most often used by me file managing programs, see also different rules applied in all those windows of Windows Explorer that I am forced to use on a daily basis whenever I have to save or import some file in any program, plus I also experience different sorting order in Notepad++ and Notepad3
Thus I propose adding to FreeCommander more sorting options - and especially the ability to turn on and off of user defined order of whatever signs a given user wishes to define
So, in n my example on top of all check-boxes I would want to define the same order as I did in Mp3tag. But it should be doable in a much simpler way of just writing in a box
Code: Select all
[;+{(#
Code: Select all
[];+-{}()#
Code: Select all
[].;,+-{}()#_'`
Code: Select all
[ ] . ; , + - { } ( ) # _ '
[And if you are wondering, just why opening square bracket goes first while round bracket bracket is near end?: it comes out from my own personal nomenclature, or "syntax" if you will, of tiles of songs, which gets me a precise order - which in turn I can use to find mistakes and also easily adjust all of my music with simple scripts; and its matter of visuals mixed with meaning of each of those signs, some of which go beyond tag field of Title and are utilized also in Album and tag fields with various comments / notes]
