File sorting with international characters
« on: July 18, 2015, 07:41:41 »
Hi, I'm not sure if this is a bug or working as designed.

I'm using Multicommander on a Windows 7 SP1 Spanish installation.

I have the Natural Order option checked, and in Spanish, the alphabetical order goes like this: M, N, Ñ, O, P. However, Multicommander is soring the files with filename that starts with Ñ after Z at the end of the list.

Windows Explorer and other file managers sort the filenames with Ñ in the correct position, between N and O.

I've tried changing the MC language to Spanish, but it still doesn't affect the result.

Thanks.

Yes, "Natural" Sorting do not like special characters.
If you disable natural sorting special characters should sort better
