Summary: Panel sort order: fallback to name Project: GNU Midnight Commander Submitted by: egmont Submitted on: Friday 01/12/2007 at 14:49 Category: None Severity: 3 - Normal Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Release: current (CVS or snapshot) Operating System: GNU/Linux _______________________________________________________ Details: When sorting by a property that can be the same for different files (e.g. file size), files having the same value are sorted strangely. When you just change the sorting method from name to e.g. size, files of the same size remain sorted by name. If you change directory, or simply press ^R to reload the panel, these files will be sorted randomly (in fact I guess in file system order). So a simple ^R changes the order, even though nothing changed on the file system. This is quite strange, and IMHO not the expected behavior. IMHO sorting should always fallback to name, when their size/date/whatever is the same. PS. Does the "Unsorted" (file system order) option has any meaning in practice? I don't think so. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?18767> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
