I'm actually not sure what the issue is here. This has nothing to do with numbers and everything to do with sort order. If you sort the column ascending, the numbers will be in increasing order. If you sort the column descending, the numbers will be in decreasing order, the numbers will be in decreasing order.
So *both* orders should and do exist. ---DISREGARD EVERYTHING ABOVE--- I'm leaving it there because that's how it *should work* (on column view at least). The problem here is much more fundamental: Marlin is sorting numbers exactly like strings. Case in point: 1110, 200, 2. Marlin will sort them in icon view as: 1110, 2, 200, which is not only not the right direction, but also just wrong. That's because it's treating "2" as a letter and sorting it like a word. I believe the correct response to this bug is to change the title and description to be about "sorting numbers as numbers, not strings". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of elementary desktop team, which is the registrant for Marlin. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/798468 Title: Marlin sorts numbered folder names incorrectly Status in Marlin: Confirmed Bug description: when sorting folders, Marlin sorts numbers incorrectly. Given the numbered folder names, 128, 1100, and 24 Marlin will place them in order like this: 1100, 128, 24 instead it should sort them like we would expect: 24, 128, 1100 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/marlin/+bug/798468/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~elementaryart Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~elementaryart More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
