Package: tree
Version: 1.8.0-1+b1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Sorting options (-U, --dirsfirst, ...) are not working when used with
--fromfile.
Even when the file is already sorted, tree unsorts it.
Let's say we have /tmp/sorted.tree :
.
./b.dir/
./a.file
This tree contains a file (a.file) and a directory (b.dir), and is
already "dirsfirst sorted".
???? * What was the outcome of this action?
Using this file with --fromfile, even with the --dirsfirst option,
unsorts it :
$ tree --dirsfirst --fromfile /tmp/sorted.tree
/tmp/sorted.tree
????????? .
?????? ????????? a.file
?????? ????????? b.dir
???? * What outcome did you expect instead?
The result should be :
????????? .
?????? ????????? b.dir
?????? ????????? a.file
