Now this idea I like, personally I think sorting should work the same way
it does in windows.
Windows isn't FLOSS and I very much doubt their algorithm is public.
I see, I didn't no this, just out of interest what is floss exactly?
I guess if people don't like the way files are sorted they can always
rename them.
No, actually they can't if the sorting tries to be too intelligent. By
this argument, we should just keep our original sort and turn off all
others, since it at least will never try to "guess" anything, and strictly
use the filenames. It's the only way for renaming to be predictable and
consistent.
I think rockbox should include some sort of sorting, and not literally use
the file names. Before 8314 it used to drive me mad that sorting went 1 10
etc. I really like the fact numbers are now sorted in the correct order. I
can't really enter into the sorting debate very much as I hate leading 0s in
file names, I like my file names to mostly be simple either being labled 1,
2,3 or 01, 02, 03.
if file names include .s I like 1.1 1.2 1.3 etc.
I make a point of removing leading 0s from names.
