Talk about zombies! This report is so old I couldn't even realize I was
the one who created it in the first place, until I read that information
above the comments.
I've now took the time to read all the comments again.
@Chris Billington: I really don't know what kind of drugs I was on when

On major problem with this search order is that it conflicts with the
order of files in Nautilius in the non-search view.
In my home folder I have 'thesis' and 'tmp' subfolders, and they are
shown in that order. I type 't' expecting 'thesis' to be the first
result so that I can hit enter and
A good example of the need to sort alphabetically, and not numerically.
I store a lot of bank statements in a folder. They have names like

This was discussed years ago on the relevant mailing lists, and it was
chosen to be the intended behaviour. I don't think it will ever be
changed. Imagine saving a large number of screenshots, or using wget for
downloading some files:
for i in `seq 0 100`; do touch ${i}.txt; done
The current
Well, since years ago things could change a bit if needed...
However I'm not asking for a fix, but I'm asking for an option to be
added in the preferences panel. I'd have rated this bug as whishlist
if I could.
Anyway, I personally know at least two people except me who do not
expect this
The current behavior is what most developers would expect.
It's always the same problem, end users needs are not respected at all
every time i need to sort elements in gnome, i have to switch to
konqueror or use ls

thank you for your bug report, that's not an option normal users would
use or understand though and you could add hundred of similars options
and make the configuration ununstable and non constitant between
configuration, closing the bug since that's not something the ubuntu
team will change
I've just tried konqueror: version 3.5/debian uses alphabetical order,
version 4.1.4/intrepid (but not on kubuntu) behaves the same as
nautilus. I've no other versions to try. However I don't believe that
the behavior of any other piece of software, be it konqueror or others,
should be a reference
normal users are not stupid users, with few exceptions :)
nobody says that users are stupid, how would you call this option to be
understandable though? do you think that's really somebody users want to
have to choice rather than something that should just work? adding
options for every requests

@Sebastian:
normal users are not stupid users, with few exceptions :)
normal users learn the alphabetical order at 6 y/o when they go to school,
it's not that hard to understand...
normal users would certainly use such an option, just like they use other
much less useful options for them, date
what an useful behaviour to have, why should other people send your
request to GNOME if they think they are wrong?

Sorting for example, followed by a list choice, including Default (the
current one), Alphabetical and eventually others. I'm not native english
speaker, nevertheless I find that quite understandable.
they also learn that 11 is higher
when you don't agree with them. That's called listening to users
requests.
then if upstream close the bug because they don't agree who should give
counter arguments? the bug triager who has no counter argument because
he's not the one who has an opinion on the topic?

Because they are the maintainers.
I'm not asking for a lawyer to defend my interests, I'm suggesting a maintainer
could file the bug upstream because maintainers are already
I'm not a nautilus developer, either. I'm an end user. And I can tell

I should have tried to search this feature request on b.g.o before, but
now that I've searched, I can tell it's simply false that no one is

If you're not a developer, you're always free to set a bounty in money
for others to implement; that'll foster development. It seems to me that
people complaining mistake free as in speech for free as in beer,
and also take for granted that, just because a community exists, they
have to abuse it
I reply here only to the technical observations (assuming I'm the troll,
I avoid feeding myself...).
the right way in my opinion to have it is by adding a new gconf key retaining
current sorting behaviour by default, but
*not* adding a new UI element in the nautilus preferences dialog.
