Hi Peter,

this must be a GTK version/OS problem. Works perfectly fine for me (modern chooser).

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the email.

I tried both Modern and Classic and they behave the same.

Within Modern view, clicking on the header to sort by name is able to
sort files by name, but not directories.  So I am unable to easily find
the directory I want.  In contrast, clicking on the header to sort by
size or date modified worked fine.

    Hello,

    In Coot's directory/file open dialog window when opening any file
    type, the directory sorting doesn't make any sense and I cannot find
    what directory I need without pulling teeth.

    Directories are not sorted directories by "name", "date modified",
    "date created", or any sorting regularly utilized.  Furthermore, the
    "Sort by Date" button doesn't apply to the directory listing, only
    to the file listing, so it is of no help.

    Can this be changed and how can this be done?


Are you using Modern or Classic?

Edit -> Preferences -> [General] -> File Selection

Other than that it seems that thatÅ› something of an oversight and needs
to be fixed.

Thanks,

Paul.
